I don't find this a particularly unusual or irregular situation.
Even if all this work is done for your company or dept by
others, somebody internal has to evaluate bids and time
estimates and act as a technical contact with the others.
It's not really necessary to learn the process well
enough to be able do the work yourself (I know I never
have), but somebody in the doc group needs to know it
well enough to be able to evaluate whether those who
are suppossed to do it can.

To clarify: I am in the unusual, irregular position of needing to do an
estimated production schedule for these two purposes:

1) Helping my manager demonstrate to the product manufacturer the
urgency of getting the process going.

2) Helping my manager isolate the tasks on which our company can be most
productive.
