Supplier profile

100% U.S.-based, ITAR-cleared manufacturers

01 路 TIERS & QUALIFICATION

Two layers of vetting before a job hits the floor.

Every supplier is matched to the program: prototype hardware, flight hardware, or controlled defense end-items. None see your data unless they clear export classification first.

Supplier Certifications

  • ITAR: for ITAR-controlled hardware
  • AS9100D: for defense flight hardware
  • ISO 9001: for prototype defense hardware
  • Specialized: ISO 13485, NQA-1 enforced as needed
  • EAR Compliance: EAR 99, 9A515, additional ECCNs as needed

Supplier Qualification

  • Controlled test parts with critical-to-quality features (GD&T, finishes, etc.)
  • Independent CMM inspections validating test parts against drawings
  • Manufacturer capabilities, machines, and inspection equipment audited in-person
  • Demonstrated experience on defense, satellite, and missile programs

ITAR & security

Export-controlled data, gated access, and U.S.-person compliance.

Vendra is ITAR registered and structured for export-controlled defense programs end-to-end, from RFQ to delivery. No supplier sees your drawings unless they clear export classification first.

CAGE Code11FY0
Export requirements are flowed down contractually to all applicable suppliers.
  • Export-controlled technical data accessible only to U.S. persons
  • Supplier access gated by export classification at RFQ and PO release
  • Controlled file access, logging, and revocation
  • Infrastructure hosted on AWS GovCloud for controlled data
