Firm putting in quote requested (9)
I believe the answer is:
solicited
'requested' is the definition.
(soliciting is a kind of requesting)
'firm putting in quote' is the wordplay.
'firm' becomes 'solid' (synonyms).
'putting in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'quote' becomes 'cite' (synonyms).
'solid' placed around 'cite' is 'SOLICITED'.
