Part & Supplier Qualification
Achieve Part Assurance and Supplier Evaluation at Scale
The PCN Procurement Automation & Reliable Transparency Solution (PARTS™) application is an IL-4 FedRAMP-authorized solution that enables supplier evaluation and parts assurance at scale. It replaces manual evaluation and document review with structured verification, helping federal agencies eliminate bottlenecks in sourcing and supply chain compliance workflows.
FedRAMP IL-4 Authorized
Counterfeit Parts and Unqualified Suppliers Increase Risk
Mission-critical decisions depend on data from external partners, but that data is often exchanged through documents, portals, and manual processes. It is difficult to determine what is accurate, current, or complete.
At the same time, supply chains are becoming more complex, cyber risks are increasing, and compliance requirements continue to expand.
This creates a persistent challenge. Programs need verified proof to move forward, but suppliers must protect sensitive data. The result is slow verification, limited transparency, and increased risk in mission-critical decisions.
HOW IT WORKS
Fast, Accurate Part and Supplier Verification
PARTS connects manufacturers, suppliers, verification sources, and evaluators into a shared network for consistent, evidence-based part validation or parts and/or supplier compliance across organizations.
Each verified credential makes the next evaluation faster, cheaper, and more reliable-compounding trust and unlocking greater speed, risk reduction, and capacity utilization.
01
Define Requirements
Organizations define requirements for parts and suppliers, including specifications, compliance criteria, and provenance expectations.
02
Submit Evidence
Data and supporting records, such as certifications, test results, and chain-of-custody information, are provided and linked to each part or supplier.
03
Evaluate
AI-assisted evaluation assesses part data and supplier compliance against requirements, producing consistent results with traceable links to supporting evidence.
04
Credential
Verified results are issued as credentials that document compliance with specific requirements and link directly to supporting evidence and evaluation outcomes.
05
Reuse (Clear)
Credentials and supporting evidence can be reused across programs and partners, eliminating the need to repeat verification and accelerating decision-making.
SOLUTIONS SNAPSHOT
From Fragmented Verification to Scalable Part Assurance
Before PARTS
Part and supplier verification is manual, repetitive, and slow
Teams chase documentation across systems, emails, and suppliers
Limited visibility into part origin, handling, and compliance
Higher risk of counterfeit parts and unverified suppliers
Verified data is siloed and cannot be reused
With PARTS
Part and supplier verification is consistent and scalable
Evidence is linked directly to requirements and accessible when needed
Clear visibility into provenance, compliance, and supplier status
Reduced risk through evidence-based validation
Verified part data can be reused across programs and partners
INDUSTRIES
Where Part and Supplier Verification Matters Most
Any organization that depends on reliable parts and qualified suppliers faces the same challenge: verifying compliance, origin, and supporting evidence quickly, consistently, and without increasing risk.
Defense and Government Supply Chains
Programs must verify part origin, integrity, and supplier compliance across complex networks where risk tolerance is low and traceability is critical.
Manufacturing and Industrial Operations
Production depends on parts and suppliers that meet strict quality and compliance standards. Verification must scale across both components and supplier networks.
Microelectronics and Semiconductors
Sensitive components require strict provenance, traceability, and compliance with evolving standards. At the same time, suppliers must protect proprietary design data, process details, and sourcing information.
PARTS enables organizations to verify part integrity using evidence-based evaluation, while allowing suppliers to share only the information required for validation. Sensitive design, process, and sourcing data remain under supplier control, enabling verification without exposing proprietary intellectual property.
Supplier validation is equally critical, as organizations must ensure trusted sources without requiring disclosure of proprietary design or process data.
Regulated and Safety-Critical Industries
Industries with strict regulatory requirements must ensure parts and supplier meet defined standards with traceable, audit-ready verification processes.
BENEFITS
Why Choose the PARTS Application?
Streamline Part and Supplier Verification at Scale
More Throughput and Faster Decisions
AI-assisted, clause-level evaluation reduces verification time from hours or days to minutes, enabling teams to process more parts and supplier data without increasing workload.
Lower Cost of Verification
Automated evaluation reduces manual effort and eliminates redundant reviews. Verified results can be reused across programs, avoiding repeated work.
Lower Risk Through Traceable Evaluation
Deterministic evaluation with required citations ensures findings are consistent and traceable to specific requirements, documents, and evidence.
Permanent Audit History
Evaluation results, findings, and supporting data are time-stamped and maintained as immutable records, enabling clear, defensible audit trails.
Supplier Trust and IP Protection
Suppliers retain control of proprietary design, process, and sourcing data while sharing only what is required for evaluation. Organizations can verify compliance without taking custody of sensitive information.
SUCCESS STORY
From Days of Review to Minutes
PARTS streamlined a four-day U.S. Space Force hardware verification operation into a 30-minute evaluation, reducing manpower from four people to one while enabling 100% compliance verification before launch.
