BlackvaultSupply chain & vendor management
Vendors qualified on evidence.
Approved vendors per layer, a technical RFP process, and clear criteria for how a vendor gets on the list.
Qualification
What we look at.
- Standards compliance for the layer it serves
- Safety and reliability evidence, not just a datasheet
- Total cost, including lifecycle and support
- Supply capacity for the scale of the program
- Regional availability and any local code differences

Vendor-neutral
We don't sell hardware.
Our recommendations are independent of any manufacturer or distributor. Regional variation is expected — the same standard can approve different products in different markets.
