The RFQ says 'inspect all dimensions 100 percent and supply a report.' The part has forty dimensions, ten pieces, and a unit price target that looks like a caliper check. A full report is more time than the machining.

Quote the machining and the inspection as separate lines. One hundred percent of forty dimensions is a metrology job. Offer a ballooned sample of the critical fits, and 100 percent only on the two dimensions that scrap the part, as a cheaper alternative.

If they insist on every dimension on every piece, the price and the lead time both move. Say so before the PO. After the PO you are donating the CMM.

A report template you already have is still someone's time to fill with real numbers. Do not price it at zero because the spreadsheet exists.
