Common part families
Start from what you know
You do not need a perfect dataset to begin. Part number, NSN, aircraft tail context, a vendor name, a photo, or a prior quote can all be enough for the sourcing command to classify intent and open the next bounded step.
Common aviation part families
Many buyers start with a subsystem or ATA-style bucket before they settle on a single PN. Use category hubs to narrow language, then confirm fit and documentation with sellers on every line.
What buyers usually need before quoting
Quantity, required date, ship-to region, condition expectation, trace or release language, and export constraints change which suppliers can respond. Capture them early to avoid back-and-forth after you shortlist offers.
When to use RFQ, AOG, TraceFit, Supplier Backup, or Alternate Path
RFQ paths structure standard sourcing. AOG requests surface time and escalation context. TraceFit aligns paperwork expectations. Supplier Backup helps when a lane stalls. Alternate Path Review is for scarcity, supersession, or controlled substitution questions — still verified per transaction.
