ELECTRONIC COMPONENT PROCUREMENT
Choose How Electronic Component Procurement Fits Into Your Project
Start with your BOM, specifications, quantities, timelines, and other relevant requirements. From there, BCS Inc. can source the electronic components your project requires through its established network of technology vendors and suppliers. Our long-standing supplier relationships can help you secure favourable pricing.
Discuss Your Project
Depending on what you need next, procurement can work in two ways:
Standalone Component Procurement
Have the required components sourced and delivered to you for your own manufacturing process or wherever your project needs them next.
Procurement Connected to Manufacturing
Keep sourcing and production with one team by having BCS Inc. procure the required components and continue into contract electronic manufacturing using your established design and specifications.
SUPPLIER NETWORK
Leverage Established Technology Vendor and Supplier Relationships
Access a broad supplier network that can help support component availability, competitive pricing, and reliable sourcing.
PROCUREMENT PROCESS
Move From BOM Review to Component Procurement
Once your electronic requirements are defined, our team navigates the electronic components supply chain to source parts that meet your specifications, quantities, and timelines at competitive rates.
Confirm Your Requirements
We review your BOM, specifications, quantities, timelines, budget, and relevant documentation to confirm the components your project requires.
Plan Your Procurement
We evaluate component availability, lead times, costs, and sourcing considerations to determine sourcing priorities around your project schedule.
Source and Verify Components
We procure the components and check them against your BOM and project documentation to identify missing, incorrect, obsolete, or substituted parts.
Deliver or Move Into Manufacturing
We deliver the sourced components for your own use or continue with your project into contract electronic manufacturing.
Robert,
Shaw Communications
We have worked with the BCS Team for years as a supplier for our in-house computer equipment. On our behalf, the BCS Team negotiated Discount Bid Pricing, which made our procurement a much smoother process and ultimately saved us a significant amount of time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can BCS Inc. source electronic components from my existing BOM?
Yes. BCS Inc. can work from your existing bill of materials (BOM) to source the electronic components required for your project. Your BOM can be reviewed alongside specifications, quantities, timelines, and other relevant project documentation before procurement begins.
Can BCS Inc. provide electronic component procurement without manufacturing my product?
Yes. Electronic component procurement can be provided as a standalone service, with the sourced components delivered to you for your own manufacturing process or wherever your project requires them next. If you need additional support, procurement can also continue into contract electronic manufacturing with BCS Inc.
Can BCS Inc. identify missing, incorrect, obsolete, or substituted components?
Yes. As part of BOM verification, BCS Inc. can review supplied materials and project documentation to identify missing, incorrect, obsolete, or substituted parts before the components move into manufacturing.
Can I supply some or all of the components for my project?
Yes. BCS Inc. can work with customer-supplied parts and materials as well as components sourced on your behalf. Customer-owned materials can be received, stored, tracked, and issued as required for the project.
Does BCS Inc. have minimum or maximum quantities for component sourcing?
No, BCS Inc. does not have a fixed minimum or maximum lot size. Procurement support can be coordinated around the quantities your project requires, from components for small prototype builds through larger production requirements.
What can happen after BCS Inc. sources my components?
Sourced components can be delivered to you for your own use or remain with BCS Inc. when your project continues into contract electronic manufacturing. BCS Inc. can also support later stages of the electronics lifecycle, including testing, deployment, repair, refurbishment, and ongoing lifecycle support.
How can BCS Inc. simplify electronic component procurement for my project?
BCS Inc. coordinates sourcing through its established network of technology vendors and suppliers based on your BOM, specifications, quantities, timelines, and project requirements. Keeping procurement with one team can reduce the number of supplier handoffs and make it easier to keep sourced components aligned with what your project requires next.
What information does BCS Inc. need to prepare an electronic component sourcing quote?
Start with your BOM, expected quantities, timelines, budget, specifications, and other relevant component requirements. If procurement will continue into manufacturing, BCS Inc. may also review applicable drawings, work instructions, revision information, assembly notes, and other documentation needed to understand the build requirements. Contact our team to discuss the documentation required for your specific project.
