High-Performance Supplier Standards

Clear terms prevent operational delays. Northwest UAV operates exclusively through formal, written agreements that outline pricing, performance expectations, and clear warranty terms. Verbal contracts and unwritten agreements are unacceptable.

Security is paramount. As an ITAR-regulated facility, we do not permit unannounced visits. You may only visit our campus if specifically requested or via a confirmed appointment. Before arriving, complete and email the NWUAV ITAR Visitor Verification Form. You must present valid proof of citizenship upon arrival to gain entry.

Coordinated communication speeds up procurement. If a specific Northwest UAV department requests a proposal for goods or services, route a copy of your response directly to the Purchasing Department contact us.

Federal regulations govern our purchasing. If your purchase order includes a Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) rating under 15 CFR 700 or references FAR 52.211-15, your signature on the document confirms your compliance. A signed purchase order constitutes formal acceptance of all rated order conditions.

Adhering to our receiving requirements ensures prompt inventory processing. All incoming shipments must arrive properly bagged and tagged. Every delivery requires an explicit packing slip detailing the purchase order number, accurate quantities, and clear item descriptions. Additionally, you must include a valid Certificate of Conformance. Reach out to your purchasing agent or our shipping department if you need clarification on packaging or labeling.
