Thanks for the advise on the COTS ,but I in my business if you are a supplier and you fail
to deliver a order in a timely fashion you are promptly replace from the vendors
list that is what we refer to as being fired . A four week delay in receiving a order for a six week project that is time sensitive will get you removed from most companies vendors list . Just saying , So in fact having only one or two vendors supplying all the teams with select parts is in fact part of the game. The teams that have large budgets can afford to stockpile parts off season while rookie teams or teams with limited budgets have a disadvantage of receiving parts whenever the supplier choose to deliver..
