Who is this for?
A team wants to add a module to an existing civilian product, replace a component or outsource a defined integration task. Clarify what stays with your team and what a proposed supplier would deliver. A shared interface list is more useful than a request to “make everything work.”
What are the options?
| Option | When to consider it | Question to resolve |
|---|---|---|
| Integrate in-house | Your team wants direct control over the work | Do you have the capacity, tools and ownership needed? |
| Source a standard module | An existing product could match the requirement | What adaptation, support and revalidation remain? |
| Commission defined integration work | A specific gap requires external work | What are the deliverables, exclusions and acceptance milestones? |
How should you evaluate them?
- Record mechanical, electrical and data interfaces with version references.
- Separate prototype acceptance from recurring production acceptance.
- Ask for engineering, tooling, samples and unit pricing as distinct lines.
- Define change control, documentation handover and post-delivery support.
What evidence should you request?
- Interface documentation and controlled revision list.
- Responsibility matrix and written statement of work.
- Test plan, results and unresolved integration issues.
- Quotation validity, quantity assumptions and change process.
Where can we help?
Use the inquiry to discuss scope, missing information and a possible evaluation. Supplier capability, pricing, delivery and the contracting entity must be confirmed for the project. Website development does not make the developer the supplier.
