What does a soft plastic lure manufacturer need from me before quoting?

Short answer

Four things: the form (which mould), the material package (hardness, salt or scent loading, buoyancy class), the color standard, and the pack format. A brief that says 'a 4-inch worm in natural colors' answers none of them, which is why two quotations written against the same words can come back far apart.
