The One Stop for
Aerospace and Defense

1SRC (One Source) is the first free to join custom manufacturing marketplace of fully verified and vetted suppliers and processes for American manufacturers. We work to reduce the lead time and friction cost it takes to find and on-board new suppliers. We ensure that only the highest financially secure companies are included in our marketplace.

Know that legion of employees you have working not only on managing your preferred suppliers, but also ensuring those suppliers are capable and credit worthy? How many times have you wondered "Why isn't there a digital solution?" One that could not only take the risk out of vetting and accrediting a large pool of suppliers, but also providing flexible trade credit (NET payment terms) in addition to your own traditional lines of credit?

1SRC seeks to solve these pains by leveraging the power of AI and finance with the muscle of manufacturing and lean engineering practice accreditation.

Let's say you have some preferred suppliers, but may be in search of a missing link. Maybe you want to take on new business, but are unsure that you will be able to meet that contract's accreditation, lead time, or even financial obligations. Or, you could be an outfit that traditionally services automotive and/or commercial contracts, and want to expand into different industry segments like aerospace and defense.

This is where 1SRC comes in. Sign up for our platform and if applicable submit your certifications and questionnaire back to us. We will then verify your documentation with our finance and accreditation partners. Once approved, you will then you have the opportunity to post RFQs onto our platform and then other businesses will be able to bid on it. You select a supplier and what payment terms are suitable for you (NET 30, 60, 90, etc). We will then immediately pay your supplier to begin work, leaving you the option of paying depending on the NET terms you selected. Don't think of this is a one way street, you too have the ability to bid on other RFQs as well!

The best part is, 1SRC isn't all about basic work contracts. Use our service to locate, find, and pay for metrology, calibration services, and even accredited raw materials suppliers. Leverage more business with the same level of quality assurance managers and buyers on your team! We are your scaleable and cloud-based quality assurance, procurement, and preferred supplier management platform.

We have two membership tiers. Our first tier is free to join (pending approval by our financing partners). This tier will only cost you a commission fee once you select a supplier and go to campaign. The commission is bundled through our ability to offer you and your customers NET terms. Think of us as a really useful digital manufacturer's rep.

Our second is a customized support tier where we digitally expand your quality assurance and procurement team capabilities by leveling our preferred suppliers, without adding staff to your payroll. You get the same great accreditation, sourcing, and payment platform, minus the commission fees. If you're interested, please contact our team today for a demo and more information.

Our goal is to nurture and incubate the next generation of manufacturing professionals and entrepreneurs. To further this goal, our accreditation partners will be able to help you certify your business to quality for the contracts you wish to acquire. Once they've determined your ability to perform and that your processes are up to par, you will have access to our platform. With each successful completion of a campaign, your business will be experienced to bid on increasingly larger contracts.

A closed beta is a way for enthusiastic early adopters to have a direct influence on our on-going development of 1SRC. As new features come online, we will allow more and more interested adopters to be let onto the platform. This ensures that everyone has an enjoyable experience. Feedback is welcomed and highly appreciated.
