My mistake, I didn't make my self clear. I posted on the Q&A at usfirt that is a little more clear.

My intent was that a component A manufactured by company X where Digikey, Future, and Newark are not distributors of X. However, they are distributors for company Y (competitor to X) that manufacture component B (comparable to A).

For example, where A and B might be potentiometers with similar ratings and resistor ranges and comparable costs.

Does that make sense?
