TO get on the QPL it is required to undergo a series of qualification activities by the DSCC. Since company A is not on the QPL they cannot certify products to that standard. They could sub the whole thing out to company B, mark up the parts accordingly and ship them to the user with the company B complete certifications to MIL-PRF-55110.

The customer is informed that company A cannot accept the po nor can they fabricate this because they are 'not' on the QPL. The customer does not care, just want board fabricated with the proper documentation. On the direction of the owner, Company A (not on QPL) fabricates the product anyway, then they send it to company B who "is" on the QPL to perform and generate the Group A, In-Process, and Microsection activity, the product ships from company B, but is billed by company A. Is this legal? proper?
