Quote validity: why a 30-day quote can still need reconfirmation

A written quote may say valid for 30 days, but availability, freight and manufacturer allocation can change during that period. On high-value or scarce equipment, when do you reconfirm before issuing a customer commitment?

If the order depends on specific stock, reconfirm immediately before commitment. Price validity and stock reservation are separate concepts unless the supplier explicitly says the material is held for you.
Freight should be treated separately too. A product price may remain valid while a spot freight quote expires much faster, especially for oversized or expedited shipments.
