Abstract: A system and method for processing and administering requests for sample parts and materials. Parts, materials, or other items are requested by a customer on a client over a network. A server receives the item request and forwards it to the appropriate fulfilling party. An associated relational database is accessible by the server and stores information related to items, projects, customers, fulfilling parties, and the status of fulfillment and design feedback. Feedback is automatically solicited from and shared with customers and fulfilling parties.
