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 AS9120certification - and you got zero. This is the third major bid you've lost this year to certified competitors. The pattern is clear: without AS9120certification, 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 AS9120 Certification?
AS9120 is the internationally recognized quality management standard specifically for aerospace distributors, stockists, and suppliers of purchased parts and materials. It incorporates all ISO 9001 requirements plus aerospace distribution-specific additions for traceability, counterfeit prevention, proper storage, chain of custody, and material certification. Whether you're a parts distributor, electronics supplier, raw materials stockist, or logistics provider serving aerospace customers, AS9120 certification demonstrates your commitment to aerospace quality and is mandatory for OEM approved distributor status.
AS9120 certification qualifies you as an approved aerospace distributor for major OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, protects the aerospace supply chain from counterfeit and suspect parts, ensures proper storage and handling of safety-critical materials, and provides traceability excellence required by aerospace customers and regulators.
