Provenance Defense: tracing magnets in defense supply chains
A San Diego service that screens defense contractors’ purchased-part lists for covered magnets and prepares supporting supply-chain evidence.
- For
- U.S. defense contractors and subcontractors
- Worth noticing
- The intake is limited to a cleaned purchased-parts list; the page says not to send drawings, specifications, or controlled data.
Field notes
The workflow begins with a 30-minute introductory call, then an NDA and engagement letter before data transfer. Clients provide a cleaned list of purchased parts—no drawings, specifications, or controlled data—and the provider screens it, triages exceptions, and contacts suppliers for items needing traceability. The page describes fees as fixed by unique part count, with 50% due to start and 50% on delivery; its 1,200-part illustration is labeled fictional.
