AS9100 BUREAU · FOR PRIME CONTRACTORS

Stop chasing qualified CNC capacity.
Match, paperwork, audit trail — one workspace.

A prime procurement desk spends most of its week re-qualifying shops it already trusts. Headstock runs the sourcing, the AS9102 Rev C FAI, supplier qualification, and the compliance vault behind every defense part — so the desk stays on the queue instead of in it.

A cleared drawing goes in. A cleared, certified, audit-ready part comes out — with the paper trail a procurement QA director has to keep, already kept.

What the bureau does

Three jobs the bureau takes off the prime procurement desk.

Matched capacity replaces qualify-on-every-RFQ. Continuously audit-ready paperwork replaces the requalify scramble. A single workspace replaces the parallel drives, shared inboxes, and version-2 FAI files a prime has been piecing together by hand.

01

Matched capacity

AS9100D shops are ranked by certification scope, process, material, tolerance, and live capacity — your shortlist shows up because the part fits, not because someone returned a call.

02

Continuously audit-ready paperwork

AS9102 Rev C FAI, supplier qualification, CMMC L2 / NIST 800-171 / ITAR / DFARS evidence stay current on the part record. Procurement QA sees one package, not a requalify cycle.

03

Single workspace

Sourcing, FAI, qualification, and the compliance vault live on one record. PO packets, NDAs, supplier qual, and AS9102 Rev C are drafted, sent, and tracked in the same place.

From drawing to audit trail

Intake to audit trail, on one record.

Four stages, each owned end-to-end by the bureau. The shape of every stage is the same as the shape of the work it replaces — sourcing happens, FAI happens, evidence is kept.

01
Intake

Drawing, tolerance, material, ITAR jurisdiction, CMMC scope. The bureau classifies the work, decides which desks it lands on, and surfaces the procurement flags a part already needs.

02
Match

AS9100D shops are ranked on certification scope, process, material, tolerance, and live capacity. Every match shows its score — no black-box inbox, no "we'll get back to you."

03
FAI

AS9102 Rev C features map to drawing callouts as measurements land. The FAI package, supplier qual, and compliance evidence stay on one record from kickoff through sign-off.

04
Audit trail

CMMC L2, NIST 800-171, ITAR, and DFARS evidence stay current as the bureau works. The week a DCAA reviewer lands, the package is already built.

Compare public match cards

Inspect profiles individually, then put the closest capacity side by side before an RFQ enters qualification.

Procurement questions

The questions a procurement QA director asks first.

Short answers in plain language. The bureau is meant to remove the qualifications paperwork from the desk, not add a layer of platform jargon on top of it.

Talk to Headstock

Send the first drawing. The bureau handles the rest.

Bring a defense or aerospace part, a tolerance, and the clearance flags it already needs. The bureau returns a matched shop shortlist, an FAI plan, and a compliance footprint — on one record you can hand a procurement QA director.
