For PMA Part Suppliers
Substantiate the PMA
Most PMA delays trace to the substantiation: evidence that is incomplete, inconsistent, or not organized the way the FAA can quickly accept. CIQ structures the substantiation, the quality system, and the submission so the FAA reviewer reaches the same conclusion you did.
Substantiating a PMA
PMA substantiation typically follows one of two paths: identicality (with or without a licensing agreement) or test and computation. CIQ supports both, keeping the design data, test results, analysis, and conformity records linked to the article they substantiate.
What this supports
- Identicality substantiation, with or without licensing agreement
- Test and computation substantiation
- Design data control and revision history
- Quality Control Manual and supplier qualification
- Conformity inspections and First Article Inspection records
- FAA submission package preparation and finding closures
How we work with you
Choose and structure the substantiation path
Identify the appropriate basis (identicality vs. test and computation), and structure the underlying evidence so each claim is independently traceable.
Build and maintain the QCM
Develop the Quality Control Manual with documented procedures for design control, supplier qualification, conformity inspection, and continued airworthiness reporting.
Submit and iterate with the FAA
Manage the submission package, ACO correspondence, and finding closures in a structured workspace that survives across submission rounds.
Distribute through the marketplace
Once approved, list the PMA part on the marketplace to reach the operators, MROs, and lessors actively sourcing alternatives.
Marketplace
The Marketplace is the aviation sourcing workspace built for PMA part suppliers and the operators, MROs, and lessors that buy from them, focused on MRO, DER, DAR, and ODA services, STC kits, and aircraft parts.
Documentation-first intake
Start with the aircraft, part, release paperwork, and compliance context a provider needs before it can respond usefully.
Sourcing preparation
Replace scattered outreach with a structured package that separates confirmed requirements from open questions.
Integrated workflows
Marketplace activity ties back into your CIQ workspace so selected paths can be connected to project records and compliance evidence.
Provider-fit signals
Use records and certification context to decide which conversations are worth opening, without assuming availability or guaranteed matches.
