24 hour supplement quote
Send a brief to HBM R&D. Get a formal preliminary estimate inside one business day.
The 24 hour supplement quote is HBM's formal preliminary estimate, returned within one business day of a complete brief. The estimate covers unit cost ranges, MOQ position, lead time bands, and dosage-form fit. It spans the gummy and liquid programs at the Tampa Bay, FL facility. The reference points are 90 million gummies per month, 750,000 liters per month, an MOQ of 300,000 gummies or 3,000 liquid units, and 8 certifications. The 24 hour window is step 4 of HBM's 10 step R&D framework. It sits after NDA signing, the discovery call, and formula review.
What the 24 hour supplement quote actually returns
The preliminary estimate is not a guess. It is a structured document covering five items. Unit cost ranges for the target dosage form. MOQ position against HBM’s standard MOQs. Lead time bands for bench, pilot, and commercial. Dosage form fit against HBM’s in-house capability. Flags on any ingredient, claim, or packaging element that needs deeper review. The estimate is non-binding. It exists to confirm the project fits HBM before bench work starts. Final pricing locks at the formal quote and purchase order stage, after bench samples and packaging review.
What R&D needs from the buyer
A complete brief contains five items. The target dosage form (gummy, tincture, shot, syrup, liposomal, suspension, emulsion, aqueous, oil-based). The active ingredient list with target doses. Estimated annual volume. Target retail price or target margin. Any regulatory targets (Non-GMO Project, USDA Organic, NSF, Health Canada, Made in USA). Incomplete briefs delay the 24 hour clock. R&D will respond with a short list of what is missing. The window restarts when the brief is complete.
Why HBM can return the quote in 24 hours
R&D sits inside the manufacturing facility in St. Petersburg, FL. The 3,000 sq ft R&D lab shares walls with the gummy production floor. Equipment specs, base systems, MOQs, and lead times are not retrieved from a partner network. They are in the building. Most contract manufacturers route gummy or liquid quotes to a third-party producer. The quote round trip is days, not hours. HBM owns the four depositing stations, the 2,500L of liquid mixing capacity, and the eight certifications. The numbers used in the estimate are the numbers from the floor.
Where the 24 hour window sits in the R&D framework
The 24 hour supplement quote is step 4 of HBM’s 10 step R&D framework. The steps in order:
What the quote does not cover
The 24 hour estimate is preliminary. It does not lock final unit cost. It does not commit a production slot. It does not include a finalized COA, a stability protocol, or a regulatory review. Those deliverables arrive at later steps. Bench samples produce a working formula. Packaging review confirms the closure, label, and barrier specs. The formal quote and purchase order step locks pricing and reserves the production window.
