Unless I'm mistaken, I believe these are found at the top-level of 
the request for quotation.

Here is the RFQ top-level as defined in the first public review draft 
of UBL 2.1:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/prd1-UBL-2.1/mod/summary/reports/UBL-AllDocuments-2.1.html#Table_RequestForQuotation

>I'm talking about the requested validity period for the Quotation

I would think this is the <RequestedValidityPeriod> on row 16:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/prd1-UBL-2.1/mod/summary/reports/UBL-AllDocuments-2.1.html#t-RequestForQuotation-16

I would think this is the <SubmissionDueDate> on row 12:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/prd1-UBL-2.1/mod/summary/reports/UBL-AllDocuments-2.1.html#t-RequestForQuotation-12

... though I don't see a start date for submissions, only an end 
date.  Would you need a start date for submissions?  I don't think in 
call cases it can be assumed to be the issue date of the RFP.

Hopefully not, and you'll find the committee's work either sufficient 
or open to your suggestions for improvement.  The second public 
review draft for UBL 2.1 should be out shortly.

>Thanks for thinking with me on this,

Thank *you* for your question!

I hope this helps.
