Stop Losing Bids to ISO-Certified Competitors

Your competitor just won the $500K contract you should have gotten. The technical evaluation was comparable. Your pricing was competitive. But the procurement scorecard gave them 15 points for AS9100 certification - and you got zero. This is the third major bid you've lost this year to certified competitors. The pattern is clear: without AS9100 certification, you can't compete for the opportunities your capabilities deserve.

Many ISO consultants will hand you generic templates, create documentation that doesn't reflect how you actually work, and leave you with a quality management system nobody follows. We don't work that way. In over 200 ISO certification projects across quality, environmental, safety, information security, and energy management standards, including integrated management systems addressing multiple standards, we've never had a client receive a Major finding or fail their certification audit. Not once. We achieve first-attempt certification in 3-6 months by building quality management systems tailored to your actual operations - not copying templates that create bureaucratic nightmares.

What is AS9100 Certification?

AS9100 is the internationally recognized quality management standard for the aviation, space, and defense industry. It incorporates all ISO 9001 requirements plus aerospace-specific additions for configuration management, risk management, product safety, and supply chain quality. Whether you're a precision machining shop, aerospace component manufacturer, electronics supplier, or MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) provider, AS9100 certification demonstrates your commitment to aerospace quality excellence and is essential for OEM supplier qualification.

Why aerospace companies pursue AS9100:

• Required for supplier qualification with Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Airbus, and major aerospace OEMs
• Mandatory for defense contractors and DoD aerospace supply chain participation
• Competitive advantage in winning commercial and military aerospace contracts
• Demonstrates aerospace quality competence through configuration management, FAI, and FOD control

AS9100 certification opens doors to aerospace OEM supplier approval and lucrative contracts, ensures product safety and quality in safety-critical applications, qualifies your company for defense and commercial aerospace programs, and provides competitive differentiation in the demanding aerospace marketplace.
