Identification is not authorization

A brand name or manufacturer part number identifies the requested reference. Its appearance on an RFQ page does not by itself establish manufacturer authorization, distributor status, inventory ownership, compatibility, or a commercial relationship.

Evidence checklist

  • Brand and MPN are used as identification facts
  • Relationships are stated only when explicitly verified
  • Public discovery pages are not stock certificates
  • Compatibility remains subject to technical review

Commercial facts belong to the written response

Price, availability, lead time, condition, origin, warranty, delivery terms, and documentation can change by source and request. PartsGo therefore keeps public pages quote-based and confirms commercial facts for the specific line item in writing.

Evidence checklist

  • No unsupported live-stock statement
  • No fixed public price without verified price data
  • No delivery promise before route and source review
  • No substitute presented as compatible without checking constraints

Evidence creates useful differentiation

A trustworthy sourcing page should contribute more than a copied catalog sentence. PartsGo publishes a brand or product reference for search only after the record has differentiated, reviewed technical context. Unknown values stay blank and insufficient records remain outside public sitemaps.

Evidence checklist

  • Reviewed source confidence
  • Original RFQ and identification guidance
  • Visible facts aligned with structured data
  • Quality-gated indexing and sitemap inclusion

Recommended RFQ information

  • Exact brand name and part number
  • Required quantity and U.S. delivery state or ZIP code
  • New, surplus, replacement, or repair preference if known
  • Machine, line, or project context when it helps identify the part
  • Urgency, deadline, and any acceptable alternatives

Catalog presence is not a live-stock, fixed-price, compatibility, or distributor-status claim.

Buyer FAQ

Independent Industrial Parts Sourcing questions

Is PartsGo an official distributor for every listed brand?

No. PartsGo is an independent RFQ platform unless a specific verified relationship is explicitly stated.

Does a PartsGo product page prove stock availability?

No. Availability is a commercial fact confirmed for the specific request after review.

Why are some database references not included in search sitemaps?

Records without sufficient verified and differentiated content remain available for private request handling but are kept out of search indexing to avoid thin or misleading pages.
