Use this checklist to organize product fit, capacity assumptions, cleanability, utilities, controls interfaces, vendor exclusions, FAT, SAT, documentation, installation, startup, and support expectations before procurement decisions harden.
The checklist avoids vendor, cost, and timeline claims while routing commissioning questions to project support.
Before the purchase order
What to verify before equipment defines the project
Equipment decisions affect utilities, layout, cleaning access, controls, vendor responsibility, documentation, startup, and support. A quote can look complete while leaving critical ownership gaps unresolved.
This support checklist prepares the equipment services conversation without making vendor, cost, or schedule claims.
Field note
Procurement is a technical scope decision
The purchase order should not be the first time the team discovers missing utilities, awkward access, unclear controls interfaces, or weak acceptance criteria.
The checklist makes those questions visible before a vendor quote becomes the de facto project plan.
Equipment procurement review inputs
These checks support the equipment services page and the commissioning path.
Work through each section before finalizing a purchase order. Check each item when you have a confirmed answer — not when you assume one. Items you cannot check are the conversations to have before the PO is signed.

This checklist is a preparation tool, not a substitute for engineering review. If completing this checklist surfaces questions you cannot answer, that is the right time to involve a consultant. Contact Solon to discuss your project.
