Does: normalize the brief
We rewrite buyer needs as chemical name, CAS if known, grade, purity or concentration, quantity, packaging, destination, timing, SDS/TDS/CoA and sample intent. Optional budget and high-end, mid-range, budget or undecided preference travel as planning notes, not as a rating we have audited.
Does: request factory answers
Proposed manufacturers are asked to confirm the same fields. Alternative grades, different water content or substitute packages are listed separately so they cannot hide inside a cheaper line item.
Does not: own a plant
Bulk Methanol Sourcing does not manufacture methanol, warehouse drums or grant authorization from any producer. If a later engagement has evidence of stock or agency, that evidence would be modeled separately; it is not implied here.
Does not: decide EHS or customs
Flash point, UN number, storage and import status follow the exact SDS, carrier rules and qualified reviewers. Communication stays on the RFQ channel. After a brief arrives, missing fields are asked, not invented, and certificates remain supplier statements until the buyer accepts a specific quote.
