Unfortunately, some of us are forced to buy through brokers.  We have customers with legacy products old enough to have been built when I was still in high school, and brokers are the only way to find some of those components.

Thanks for the memo, though.  I've forwarded to our purchasing dept. also.

Steve,

Yes, but in today's world where the Purchasing Department is tasked with
getting the absolute lowest priced component [or so it seems], can we ever
be sure what is in the supply chain???

Forward to the Purchasing Department and have them at least read the first
two pages.

Does it really matter if one is not making DOD items?  I would like to
believe that one would follow the suspension...

Don't know if any of you have seen this yet, but just got this *.pdf this

Not good. Learned a long time ago to never buy from brokers.
