Bifold panels fold and stack. A slider travels sideways. The opening width might match, and the stack still needs a place to go.
If the elevation shows a folding wall of glass, say bifold and send the panel count. Do not write "slider" because the quote form had that word first.

More on commercial windows. The five services are on product sourcing. Send the specification for a project quotation.
