Get matched RFQs.
Refreshed paperwork. Prime-desk visibility.
Headstock sits between AS9100-certified machine shops and the prime sourcing desks that need them. Inclusion in the bureau means incoming work is matched to your scope, your supplier-qualification paperwork stays current, and your shop stays on the desk buyers actually use.
You run the cut. The bureau runs the paperwork — capability cards, AS9102 Rev C FAI, CMMC L2 / NIST 800-171 / ITAR / DFARS evidence — so procurement QA doesn't hold you up on a requalify cycle.
Three jobs the bureau takes off the shop floor.
The shape of every pillar matches the work it replaces. Matched RFQs replace an inbox full of inquiries. Refreshed paperwork replaces a quarterly requalify scramble. Prime- desk visibility replaces a rep's phone calls.
Matched RFQs
Inbound work is scored against your scope, process, material, tolerance, and live capacity — your shop shows up on the shortlist because the part fits, not because someone called.
Continuously refreshed paperwork
Capability cards, supplier qualification, and AS9102 Rev C FAI stay current as your scope grows. The bureau carries the paperwork so your quality team doesn't.
Prime-desk visibility
Once qualification is on file, your shop is on the desk prime sourcing buyers work from. No cold calls, no annual requalify cycle — the bureau already has what they need.
- Submit the form below. The queue records your work email and intake timestamp; the optional shop name gives the desk a head start.
- When your cohort opens, the qualification desk replies with the scope intake and a walk through your existing certifications.
- Built for U.S. defense & aerospace precision parts only — AS9100D, ITAR, DFARS, and the export controls your work actually needs.

The bureau's qualification desk tracks every AS9100D shop that wants in. The form records you against the cohort queue — shop name is optional, just so the desk knows who they're onboarding.
