No, you should ask them what they expect. We only can guess.

Exactly. Is this product work where the printed piece needs to match client samples? This requires very careful coordination between photographer, prepress house, and printer, and should involve what is known in the industry as "contract proofs" (Skilled photographers can make them, or they are out-sourced to a vendor). All this is billable production charges, and photographers who routinely are involved in this find it to be a new profit center. Even whan great care is taken and colors have to be rebuilt to specific CMYK values by an experienced prepress graphics person, many catalogs still print discaimers on the rear stating that "this printed sample has limitations and may not accuraltely reflect true product color".
I deliver files in AdobeRGB, and are balanced to the industry term known as "Pleasing Color". My T&C state this, along with a disclaimer stating that "I am not responsible for color critical CMYK work, and if requested, will be an additional charge".
Both parties have to be made aware of what they are expecting, and who is resposible for what at the beginings of the proposal negotiations. Waiting until the job is shot puts everyone in an awkward position. I tell clients that I have observe UPDIG recommendations (sort of like the ISO 9000 group for photographers). That way if they have any questions, they can go to UPDIG itself and see what resources are available for me to conduct my workflow.
