What Winston-Salem Defense Buyers Should Know
Fort Liberty SOCOM programs require pursuing ITAR registration suppliers
Special Operations equipment involves controlled technical data. ITAR registration is mandatory before engaging with Fort Liberty programs.
Collins Aerospace and L3Harris expect AS9100 shops
Avionics and communication system components need AS9100D-aligned suppliers with first article inspection capability.
Tier 2 suppliers must understand prime contractor quality flow-downs
Quality requirements from primes like Northrop Grumman flow down to sub-tier suppliers. Know your contractual obligations.
