Supplier Manual
For questions regarding the expectations documented, please reach out to your SpaceX Quality contact.
Purpose“To specify SpaceX requirements
for our suppliers”
Goal“To support the production of
quality product – a responsibility
that is shared between SpaceX
and our suppliers”
“All documents referenced in [the
Supplier Manual] can be found on
www.spacex.com/legal or are
otherwise publicly available”
**Supplier shall make sure they are working off of latest version of Supplier Manual**
4/20/2018 17
Product Traceability
Supplier shall have capability of tracing backward from fabricated hardware to the records or material from which the item, part, and material originated.

4/20/2018 18
Universal Compliance Practice
Supplier Manual (SPX-00007672)
Requirements in Supplier Manual are applicable to Flight and Non-Flight suppliers.
Compliance to the entirety of the document is required and acceptance of the order is a
record of the supplier’s understanding to perform.
Example:
Supplier Manual Section 4.2.2: Requires supplier to be able to trace backward from
fabricated hardware to the records or material from which the item, part, and material
originated.
‘Quality Clause 10a: raw material traceability’ requires suppliers to provide record of
above stated material traceability requirement being met, however, absence of this QC
from the PO does not exempt supplier from maintaining raw material traceability.
** Supplier is responsible for complying to requirements as stated in Supplier
Manual; absence of corresponding Quality Clauses does not exempt supplier from
any requirements stated in supplier manual **
4/20/2018 19
Inspection
SpaceX can reject an entire lot
if any part is found
nonconforming
Each part shall be visually
inspected
100% inspection of threaded
features
**100% inspection required on all Key and Major Characteristics**
4/20/2018 20
Nonconforming Material
**Supplier is responsible for ensuring product conformance to requirements**
Nonconforming material:
• Can be detected at any stage in production
• Detection will negatively impact supplier’s quality rating
Returned Material:
• Must be identified as “SpaceX Returned Material”
• Have necessary paperwork attached
• Can result in supplier suspension if not properly identified
4/20/2018 21
Acceptable Vendors List**For all SpaceX-designed parts, special processes are source controlled and
must be performed by a SpaceX approved vendor**
Special processes require SpaceX approval
Approval to one special process does not imply approval for any additional processes
Non-destructive testing (NDT)
• Suppliers who perform NDT requires SpaceX approval even if NADCAP certified
• Supplier is responsible for flowing down SpaceX requirements when subcontracting any NDT work
The ASL is a living document and is subject to change at any point. Suppliers are responsible for querying the most recent list
foundatSpaceX.com/legal upon scheduling special processes for any SpaceXcomponent. This, along with all other documents provided at SpaceX.com/legal should not be stored in a digital or physical state, but rather viewed from our webpage at time of need.
4/20/2018 22
Acceptable Mills List
Metallic material
• Use sources specified on Acceptable Mills & Preferred Distributors list
Non-metallic material
• Adhere to purchase order requirements
COTS are not bound by approved mill requirement
Melters, mills, and converters must use sources found on the Acceptable Mills List
**SpaceX requires control of material sources for metallic materials and other
cases**
4/20/2018 23
Counterfeit Prevention

order is not acceptable**
4/20/2018 26
Prohibited Practices
Supplier Quality Alert
SpaceX has a zero tolerance policy for the falsification or misrepresentation of any quality
records. Falsification includes the alteration of any type of documentation.
Quality records are defined as documented evidence that processes are executed
according to the quality systems plan and requirements, such as inspection results,
audit results, calibration data, data sheets, and more.
Failure to report suspect activities observed at any level of the SpaceX supply chain will
also be considered a violation of ethical quality practices.
All suspect cases will undergo a full quality investigation. In the event that a case is
confirmed to be in violation, SpaceX will pursue all available remedies.
**Falsifying or misrepresenting quality records may result in civil liability and
criminal punishment**

What is source inspection?
• Source inspection is the inspection of products and process records at the supplier’s
premises to verify compliance with requirements before shipment to SpaceX
How are source inspection requirements communicated?
• Source inspection is imposed as a PO line requirement: QC-61 indicates in-process
source inspection and QC-17 indicates final product source inspection. One or both may
be applied to a PO line.
Who performs the source inspection?
• Source inspection is performed by 3rd party inspection providers (SQA and Verify) by
SpaceX-approved inspectors or by SpaceX personnel
How do I request source inspection?
• When QC-17 / QC-61 is called out on the PO line, request the source inspection event
through the SpaceX process or SQA application (StepQ). Requests should be made
with 48 hours advance notice.
For questions regarding the process, please contact: Elizabeth Sondecker – [email protected]
4/20/2018 34
Performing Source Inspection
What is performed during source inspection event?

• SpaceX method of documenting nonconformance
• “Issues” commonly referenced when discussing
nonconformance resolution with suppliers
Nonconformance detection and management
At Supplier
Supplier Request for Information (SRI)
At SpaceX
Production Issue Ticket
4/20/2018 42
Supplier Request for Information (SRI)
What is an SRI?
• Supplier requests additional information from SpaceX
• Supplier requests disposition for deviations from drawing or quality requirements
What is the SRI requirement before shipment?
• Any open existing SRI for a purchase order line must be closed prior to product
shipment, unless the SRI disposition is to review the parts at SpaceX
Key Takeaways
• Complete SRI submission correctly, and email to the specified email on the
completed PDF. If you receive an error, fix SRI submission and resubmit.
• Production Issue Ticket Report PDF must be included in shipping package to
SpaceX.
• Average response time from SpaceX is 5 business days from SRI submission date.
For questions regarding the process, please contact: Diondre Montgomery – [email protected]
**SRIs must be in WIP or Closed prior to shipment to SpaceX. Further details on
SRI process and common mistakes are found in Appendix C**
4/20/2018 43
Issue Resolution – Return to Vendor (RTV)
RTV Process
• Aims to return material to suppliers within 5 days of inspection, where the non-conformance(s) identified are deemed vendor caused.
Process Timeline
Day 1: SpaceX sends notice of RTV intent to Supplier
– Supplier should provide an RMA# (if necessary) within 72 hours
Day 3 (48 hours from initial notice): Final notice of RTV intent
– A final notification will be sent If no response or RMA is received by Day 3
– This indicates that 24 hours remains for receipt of an RMA#
Day 5: Suspect material returned to supplier
– SpaceX will internally generate RMA# and return material
– No further notice will be sent
For questions regarding the process, please contact: Diondre Montgomery – [email protected]
**SpaceX retains the right to return material to the supplier for analysis and review
(Supplier Manual 4.6.4)**
4/20/2018 44
Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA)
At times, SpaceX will formally request a Corrective Action.
• The Supplier is expected to communicate progress and act in a timely manner upon request.
Examples of events requiring Corrective Action:
• Audit Finding
• Poor quality performance over a period of time
• High impact nonconformance or containment
• Failure to meet delivery expectations
• Recurring SRI
• Recurring Issue Ticket
Comply with the desired method of response for each Corrective Action Request
For questions regarding the process, please contact: Diondre Montgomery – [email protected]
**Suppliers are expected to document and perform root cause analysis and
corrective actions for every product/process nonconformance communicated by
SpaceX or detected by the Supplier on SpaceX product**
4/20/2018 45
CAPA Expectations
After a request for Corrective Action, the following is expected of a supplier
(Supplier Manual 4.7):
– Within 48 hours – Containment on affected WIP and inventory material
is completed at the supplier location
– Within 10 business days – Root Causes and Corrective Actions are
proposed by the supplier
– Expected completion dates for each Corrective Action are given and
met by the supplier
For questions regarding the process, please contact: Diondre Montgomery – [email protected]
**Failure to comply with CAPA activities may result in Supplier Probation or
Disqualification (Supplier Manual 4.7.3)**

Supplier Recovery - Diagnostic Audit
What is a Diagnostic Audit?
A countermeasure tool to use when a critical quality or performance observation is made
about a Supplier
Three Parts:
1. Supplier Performance review (1 week prior to audit)
2. Onsite Investigation of Quality Maturity and Commodity Competency (1-2 days)
3. Recovery Planning and Closure (30 days following audit)
What can a Diagnostic Audit do?
Capable of detecting deficiencies in a Supplier’s quality system and process, then
relating it to potential failure modes for a Supplier to correct
For questions regarding the process, please contact: Supplier Evaluation – [email protected]
**Continued unsatisfactory performance (Scorecard, delinquent CAPA,
containment, etc.) will result in a diagnostic audit**
