Know where every part in your supply chain actually came from.

A working Counterfeit Part Prevention Plan, supplier vetting checklist, and audit scorecard — built for quality teams at small and mid-size aerospace and defense suppliers, not just prime contractors with a compliance department.

Aligned to AS9100D §8.1.4 and DFARS 252.246-7007 / -7008

SOURCING PRIORITY — WHERE COUNTERFEIT RISK ENTERS

Most compliance content is written for a company with a compliance department. Most suppliers don't have one.

DFARS clauses (252.246-7007 and -7008) that require a documented detection system, whether or not you have staff to write one

What's in the starter kit

Four documents, built to be filled in and used — not read once and filed away.

01

CPPP Template

A Counterfeit Part Prevention Plan mapped to AS9100D §8.1.4, with role assignments, sourcing priority, and an inspection protocol you fill in against your own process.

02

Supplier Vetting Checklist

A documentation checklist and red-flag list to run before qualifying a new supplier, or re-checking one you already use.

03

GIDEP / ERAI Quick-Start

The step-by-step for reporting a suspect part, written for someone who's never filed one before.

04

Self-Audit Scorecard

A scored checklist to gut-check your own system before an external AS9100 or DoD assessment finds the gap first.

FOR TEAMS READY TO GO FURTHER

Already used the free kit? Here's what handles the rest.

The starter kit gets your CPPP and vetting process in place. The Advanced Compliance Toolkit is what carries you through an actual audit, a real investigation, and getting your line staff trained and documented — the parts that take the most time to build from scratch.

Who this is built for

Built for the supplier vetting a Tier 2 vendor themselves — not a prime with a dedicated compliance team.

GOOD FIT
  • Quality managers at 20–200 person aerospace or defense suppliers
  • Procurement leads vetting distributors without a legal or compliance department behind them
  • Suppliers preparing for a first DFARS or AS9100 audit
NOT THE FOCUS
  • Large primes with an existing compliance department and legal counsel on retention
  • Companies outside aerospace/defense supply chains with no DFARS exposure
  • Anyone looking for legal advice in place of counsel — this is a working-document starting point, not a substitute for one
