Suppliers, Quality & Contracts

Supplier Registration

SDL is committed to creating an efficient and effective supply chain. We continually add new partners to our supplier list whose capabilities align with our core competencies. We engage with a diverse supplier base and encourage all suppliers to register with us. Understand that any subcontracted parts and materials may require traceability, certification to customer standards, and/or environmental compatibility requirements mandated by NASA or the Department of War (DoW). If you have questions after registering your business, please contact suppliers@sdl.usu.edu.
