OK, then the best idea that I have is get a copy of the purchase specification. That will list out the alloy (7075) and the temper and any extra treatments and tolerances. If it's T6 or T651, then you're pretty well set using McMaster-Carr pricing. If it's T7351, try Ryerson for general pricing. Once you have that information, you can (probably) successfully explain your BOM pricing to an inspector.
