2-26.7 Subcontractors

Generally, suppliers are responsible for determining the capability of their subcontractors and may be required to provide evidence of a subcontractor’s capability. In some cases, however, the purchase/SCM team may decide to assess subcontractors for acceptability. In such cases, the subcontractor capability may be determined using the same criteria used to determine prime supplier capability. Subcontractor capability considerations may affect whether or not the prime supplier is deemed capable.
