Keep certifications current and notify us of changes (ownership, location, key personnel, processes, sub-tier sources)

Purchase Order Terms & Conditions

Our current PO Terms & Conditions apply to every order unless otherwise stated on the PO. The PO will call out required specifications, latest revisions, special processes, documentation, packing, and delivery instructions.

PO Terms & Conditions

Quality Requirements & Export Control

Quality system

  • Comply with AS9100D / ISO 9001 principles (formal certification preferred when applicable).
  • Use current drawings/specs; if there’s a conflict, stop and contact your AT buyer.

Documentation & traceability

  • Provide Certificate of Conformance (CoC) referencing PO number, part number, and revision
  • Include material certs (MTRs) and special-process certs that reference spec numbers and revisions, results/parameters as applicable, and lot/heat numbers.
  • Maintain lot/serial traceability to your travelers/routers and sub-tiers.

Nonconforming product

  • Do not ship nonconforming product without written AT disposition (e.g., deviation/MRB).
  • Notify AT within one (1) business day if you discover a shipped nonconformance.

Export control (ITAR)

  • When a PO is identified as export-controlled, treat all technical data and hardware accordingly.
  • Do not transmit export-controlled technical data to any unauthorized party or outside the U.S. without written authorization from AT.
  • If export control applies, we will provide handling instructions. When in doubt, ask your AT buyer before sending data.

Counterfeit prevention & FOD

  • Source materials/components from OEM/OCM or authorized distributors when specified; preserve chain-of-custody.
  • Deliver parts clean, free of chips and debris; protect critical/surface-finish features.

Special Processes & Approved Sources

  • Heat treat, plating/coating, NDT, welding, passivation, etc. must use AT-approved sources and follow the spec/revision stated on the PO.
  • Nadcap accreditation is required where specified by the PO.
  • Special-process certs must list the spec number & revision, process parameters/results (as applicable), part/PO identifiers, and an authorized signature.

Documentation Pack — What to Include with Each Shipment

  • Packing list
    with PO, part number & revision, quantity, and lot/heat/serial as applicable.
  • CoC
    (signed) referencing PO and part/rev.
  • MTRs
    for all raw materials (and hardware if specified).
  • Special-process certifications
    (each process separate, referencing spec & revision).
  • Dimensional/inspection records
    if required by PO (e.g., key characteristics, FAI/AS9102 when flowed down).
  • Any approved deviations/MRB paperwork tied to the shipment.

Shipping & Packaging (industry-standard expectations)

  • Use clean, protective packaging appropriate to material and finish (e.g., VCI paper/bags for corrosion protection; caps/plugs on threaded/critical features).
  • Separate and clearly label each line item/lot with PO, part number, revision, and quantity; avoid mixed lots in one bag.
  • Protect sharp edges and precision surfaces; prevent part-to-part contact.
  • Place paperwork outside the inner wrap or in a visible doc pouch.
  • Ship to the address on the PO; notify early if a delivery risk arises.

If your standard packing deviates from the above, confirm with your AT buyer before shipment.

Invoicing & Payment

  • Invoice must match the PO number, part number, revision, quantity, and unit of measure shipped.
  • Include a copy of the invoice with the shipment or submit per the PO’s instructions.
  • Remittance details are listed on the PO.

Communication & Escalation

  • Your AT buyer is the first point of contact for schedule, PO, and document questions.
  • For quality or compliance concerns, contact the AT Quality team via your buyer.
  • Change notifications (ownership, site, key process changes, new sub-tiers) must be submitted prior to shipment of affected product.
