AS9100D. DoD Compliance. Aerospace Division Management.
Your Aerospace Division. Our Expertise. Complete Accountability.
Aerospace and defense manufacturing operates under the most demanding quality and regulatory standards in the world. A single audit failure, an open corrective action, or a lapse in supplier qualification can cost a contract, a certification, or a customer relationship that took years to build. The organizations that compete and win in this environment are not the ones with the most internal resources — they are the ones with the most disciplined quality infrastructure.
Confuorto delivers AS9100D quality management system design, implementation, and full program management for aerospace and defense manufacturers — from certification preparation and supplier audits through DCMA representation, prime contractor supplier registration, and complete outsourced aerospace division management.
Led by a certified AS9100 Rev D Lead Auditor with 19 years inside regulated aerospace and defense manufacturing — every engagement is built on firsthand knowledge of what the standard requires, what auditors look for, and what manufacturers consistently get wrong.
Aerospace Services
Built on 19 years inside regulated aerospace and defense manufacturing. Every engagement led by a certified AS9100 Rev D Lead Auditor. In thirty years, we have never failed a compliance audit.
AS9100 QMS Management
Full-cycle AS9100D and ISO 9001 quality management system design, implementation, gap analysis, internal audit program development, corrective action management, and certification preparation — built from the ground up or restructured to close the gaps that put existing certifications at risk.
Every QMS engagement is designed to function as a living operational system — not a documentation exercise. We build quality into your processes, your personnel, and your production environment — and we maintain it to the same standard we apply to the most demanding aerospace and defense programs in the world.
Supplier Audits
Comprehensive supplier qualification audits, supplier development programs, and ongoing supplier compliance monitoring across AS9100D, ISO 9001, ITAR, CMMC, and DFARS requirements — conducted by a certified Lead Auditor with direct experience in aerospace and defense supply chain management.
Every supplier audit is structured to identify compliance gaps, document findings to evidentiary standard, and produce a corrective action framework that brings your supply chain into full compliance with customer and regulatory requirements. From single-source supplier qualification to multi-tier supply chain audits — one standard, complete accountability.
Supplier Registrations
Registration and ongoing management across the AS9100 OASIS database, SAM.gov, and prime contractor approved supplier programs — ensuring your organization is visible, compliant, and qualified to compete for the contracts your capabilities deserve.
If you are not an approved supplier with Boeing, Parker Hannifin, Collins Aerospace, or other major aerospace and defense prime contractors — you cannot get their business. Confuorto manages the entire registration and qualification process on your behalf — from initial application and documentation submission through approval and ongoing compliance maintenance. We navigate the requirements of each prime contractor's supplier qualification program so your organization can focus on production while we focus on keeping you on the approved supplier list.
Audit Management
Complete audit management across internal audits, customer audits, DCMA audits, and registrar certification audits — planned, prepared, executed, and closed by Confuorto on your behalf.
When DoD shipments require DCMA inspection, Confuorto serves as your designated on-site representative — interfacing directly with the DCMA Quality Assurance Representative on your behalf. When a customer audit is scheduled, we prepare your personnel, your documentation, and your quality system for every question the auditor will ask. When your registrar arrives for your AS9100D certification audit, we stand beside you from opening meeting through closing meeting — ensuring every finding is addressed and every nonconformance is closed before it becomes a certification risk.
In thirty years, we have never failed a compliance audit.
Aerospace Division Management
For aerospace and defense manufacturers without the internal resources to staff a dedicated quality and compliance function — or for organizations seeking to eliminate the overhead of an internal aerospace division — Confuorto offers a complete outsourced aerospace division management program. Your entire aerospace quality and compliance infrastructure, fully managed by Confuorto from day one.
AS9100D quality management system design, implementation, and ongoing maintenance. Internal audit program development and execution. Corrective action pipeline management. Supplier qualification and ongoing supplier compliance monitoring. Customer audit preparation and representation. DCMA on-site representation for DoD shipments requiring government inspection. SAM.gov, AS9100 OASIS database, and prime contractor approved supplier registration and ongoing compliance management across Boeing, Parker Hannifin, Collins Aerospace, and other major aerospace and defense prime contractors.
Every obligation met. Every standard maintained. Every audit ready. Confuorto embeds into your quality infrastructure the way a law firm embeds into your legal operations — not as an outside consultant who visits once a year, but as an operational extension of your team that owns your aerospace compliance program with the same discipline and accountability you would demand from an internal department.
For international aerospace and defense organizations seeking U.S. market entry, Confuorto provides complete American market representation — government contracting support, SAM registration, CAGE code establishment, and ongoing compliance management for organizations navigating the U.S. aerospace and defense regulatory environment for the first time.
The cost of non-compliance in aerospace and defense is not measured in audit fees. It is measured in lost contracts, suspended certifications, and customers who cannot afford to keep you on their approved supplier list. Confuorto eliminates that risk — completely, continuously, and at a fraction of the cost of building and maintaining the internal infrastructure yourself.
Why Confuorto Aerospace?
Most aerospace quality consultants are former quality managers who know the standard from the inside of one organization. Confuorto's certified AS9100 Rev D Lead Auditor has spent 19 years inside regulated aerospace and defense manufacturing — and thirty years applying that discipline across dozens of organizations, supply chains, and regulatory environments.
We don't just audit to the standard. We build organizations that live it — from the production floor to the boardroom, from the supplier qualification program to the DCMA inspection. Every engagement is managed start to finish by the same certified Lead Auditor who designed the program — not handed off to a junior consultant after the kickoff meeting.
Our Aerospace Story
In aerospace and defense manufacturing, AS9100D certification is not a credential — it is a prerequisite. Without it, the contracts that drive growth are simply not available. With it, an organization gains access to a market that rewards quality, discipline, and the operational infrastructure to prove both on demand.
In 2009, Confuorto engaged a small business manufacturer generating $1.77 million in annual revenue. They had the production capability. What they lacked was the quality infrastructure to compete for the aerospace contracts their capabilities deserved. Confuorto designed and implemented their AS9100D quality management system from the ground up — building their internal audit program, managing their corrective action pipeline, and preparing their personnel and documentation for every customer and registrar audit that followed.
The results were measurable and sustained. Today, more than 70% of that manufacturer's sales are aerospace — and their annual revenue has grown to $6 million. The AS9100D quality management system Confuorto built was not incidental to that growth. It was the foundation of it. Every major aerospace contract they have won required AS9100D certification as a condition of qualification. Every customer audit they have passed has been managed by the same team that built their quality system.
That is the Confuorto standard. Not just certification — but the operational infrastructure that makes certification mean something.
