Codes We
Hold Suppliers To.

• Anti-corruption — No bribes, kickbacks or improper payments, in line with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and local law.
• Gifts and hospitality — Nothing offered to ODS staff to influence an award.
• Conflicts of interest — Disclose any relationship that could affect an award.
• Labor and human rights — No forced, trafficked or child labor anywhere in your supply chain.
• Accurate records — Quotes, certifications and shipping documents must be true and complete.

• ITAR and EAR — State the export jurisdiction and classification (USML category or ECCN) when you know it.
• Sanctions — No sourcing from parties on U.S. restricted or sanctioned lists (OFAC, BIS Entity List).
• Country of origin — Declare the true country of origin on every shipment.

Counterfeit and suspect unapproved parts are the industry’s biggest risk. Suppliers must:

• Buy from the original manufacturer, its authorized distributors, or sources with documented traceability back to them
• Keep a counterfeit-prevention process consistent with AS5553 / AS6174 (and AS6081 for independent distributors)
• Tell us immediately about any suspect or counterfeit part they have supplied or received
• Never ship a part they cannot trace

• FAR / DFARS — Government and defense orders flow down the applicable clauses, including DFARS 252.246-7007 / 7008 on counterfeit parts.
• Cybersecurity — Where controlled unclassified information is involved, DFARS 252.204-7012 and NIST SP 800-171 apply.
• Environmental — REACH, RoHS and conflict-minerals declarations on request.
