I expect that the economy is hurting Small Parts and it's ability to provide it's past level of service. I guess everyone has to cut back to survive.
The absence of the grant for Small Parts hurt my hardware budget this year so I don't get to experiment as much as I would like.
Maybe next year ......

I requested a catalog in December some time, and this explains why I have not received it!
This is another thing that affects rookie teams alot. We are lucky to have someone who has a small parts catalog from two years ago...or we would be potentially at quite a dissadvantage.
Disadvantage because while the Allowed List of materials is nice, the ability to dip into ANYTHING in the small parts inventory is lost of you don't know what they have in their catalog.
Their web page is ok, with PDF pages from their catalog....but there is nothing like flipping page by page scanning a catalog with an open mind looking for ideas to solve a problem.
