Due to the proprietary information of the tooling
database, unrestricted access is only granted to Department of
Defense Personnel. However, any defense contractor
is able to make an inquiry to source casting suppliers and
defense-related patterns using the following form. NFFS Staff will
perform searches free of charge. NFFS Staff will respond by e-mail
within 3 business days with the status of your inquiry.
For each inquiry, the solicitation number associated with the
part is required and usually consists of at least 13 characters
(SPM4A610Q1234 or SPM4A6-10-Q-1234). In addition, your contact
information must be submitted so that if a pattern is identified,
NFFS can direct the supplier to contact you. All further
communications resulting from a search should be directed to the
responding supplier. NFFS assumes no further involvement and/or
responsibility for the resulting business relationship. In
addition, both parties must conduct such relationships with the
full and proper adherence to the rights of ownership of customer
provided tooling.
Would you like assistance with finding
potential casting suppliers if tooling is not available?
Important: Business transaction parties must conduct such
relationships with the full and proper adherence to the rights of
ownership of customer provided tooling.
