WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT If there is a need for your products/services you may be contacted by buying personnel directly or may receive a Request for Information or Request for Quotation (RFQ). We may not have an immediate requirement that matches your capabilities but when a need for your product or service arises your organization may be considered. If you propose to furnish production (as opposed to overhead) material, then you may be required to undergo a Quality Assurance survey to assess your quality system.

Your process must be found satisfactory before you can be considered as a source for production material. CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE We are prime contractors to the United States Government.
