The defense industry relies on effective supply chains to deliver compliant solutions within tight time frames. This sector faces particular challenges due to strict military standards and regulatory requirements. At Unitek Technical Services, we provide end-to-end visibility into defense supply chains. Our comprehensive solutions can help safeguard mission-critical programs and accelerate the delivery of essential components and products.
Supply Chain Support That Moves Your Projects Forward
Critical defense systems, equipment and components must be available and operational when needed. The success of these systems begins with the supplier you choose. Proper supplier vetting and monitoring can ultimately support mission success.
The defense industry also has stringent compliance requirements that impact supply chains, including International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). An expert partner can aid in compliance and secure management throughout every step.
In an unpredictable geopolitical and cyberthreat landscape, rely on an outside expert to handle these risks and plan for contingencies. We offer multi-tier supplier visibility and control down to raw materials to help you comply with sourcing mandates.
