What is a Nadcap® Program Supplier?
A Nadcap Supplier is a company that makes parts or provides critical processes to orignal equipment manufacturers (OEMs) within the aerospace, defense, or space industries and seeks Nadcap accreditation to demonstrate its commitment to the highest standards of quality and process control.
Suppliers are responsible for:
- Scheduling audits with PRI
- Preparing documentation and quality systems
- Closing out any non-conformances identified during audits
By becoming Nadcap accredited, Suppliers demonstrate to customers, leading OEMs (Subscribers), that their operations meet rigorous industry-defined standards, unlocking access to the global aerospace supply chain. Before your initial audit, you may take an optional Nadcap Pre-Assessment Audit, which walks you through the process and identify gaps without going into your audit report, learn more here.
