Israel-Hamas Conflict - Supply Chain Risk Assessment
As the Israel-Hamas conflict continues, the Collins Supply Chain Risk Network is actively collaborating to assess and mitigate related-risks in the region.

As such, if you are aware of any sub-tier suppliers or manufacturing locations within your supply chain that could be impacted by the conflict in Israel and as a result, impact your ability to deliver parts to Collins as scheduled, please email Hailey Hines (Hailey.Hines@Collins.com) and your usual Collins POC to ensure alignment.

We appreciate your pro-active approach to risk assessment and your support of Collins Risk Management initiatives. Our thoughts are with those impacted as we continue to stand in defense of peace throughout the world.

RFQ Email Notification Issue
The Portal's electronic Request for Quotes (eRFQ) email notifications are not being sent to all suppliers. This is due to an issue with the legacy email system used for these emails. Until this issue is resolved, we ask suppliers to login and view Quotes for new RFQs regularly to avoid any short lead-time situations. We will provide updated information here when the issue has been resolved. Thank you for your patience. Supplier Portal Administration team.

RC-9000 Revision Update Coming Soon
Collins Aerospace will be releasing an update to RC-9000 (Supplier Quality Management System Requirements) in the coming months. RC-9000 applies to suppliers that furnish product, material, processes, or product related services to the Avionics and Mission Systems Strategic Business Units (SBUs) regardless of the supplier’s industry, regulatory accreditation, or certification status.  

This update consolidates various Avionics and Mission Systems site requirements into a singular common SBU flow-down document which will reference COL-ASQR-PRO-0003 (Supplier Quality Requirements) as a top-level flow-down.

The forthcoming update and any SBU documents will all be available on the Supplier Portal and additional communication will follow when the revision is released.
