Supplier policy

Selection

Atlas Vac selects its suppliers on a strategic set of criteria:

It is Atlas Vac policy to first consider US-based suppliers where possible, and then suppliers in US-allied countries.

Site review

All suppliers are subject to an Atlas Vac site review, to assure performance capability and alignment with Atlas Vac needs.

Payment terms

Suppliers are paid on net 30 terms, to enable a strong supplier base that is responsive to Atlas Vac delivery requirements.

Purchase authorization

All purchases require a purchase order or purchase card authorization. Any materials received without a matching purchase order or purchase card authorization are subject to return to the point of origin at the supplier’s cost.
