The most complicated government RFQ I worked on was replacement of some large motors and supply of motor drives. They were not replacing the pumps, so you have to have the motor match the pump.
The bid package was huge. They supplied all sorts of stuff, but no drawings for the pump, the input shaft, coupling, etc. They ended up killing the bid 3 times to find the information I requested. I don't know how anyone could have properly bid the job without the drawings, unless it was "inside".
Again, I think I was the most techincally savvy on this, but was kicked out in the second round because they didn't like the form of my bid package.
