Suppliers wishing to do business with Aerojet, or perform on Aerojet Purchase
Orders, must make their contacts with Aerojet through Procurement representatives.
Please make an appointment with the Procurement representative you wish to
see at the appropriate Aerojet site.
Procurement representatives
are the only individuals authorized to:
- Place orders for materials or services with a supplier.
- Commit Aerojet to any contractual arrangement with a supplier, including
any teaming agreement, letter of intent, lease, license, proprietary information
exchange agreement, consulting agreement, contract clause, joint venture,
memorandum of understanding, or any promise of future business, or
- Otherwise commit Aerojet to a financial obligation.
Commitments or changes made by representatives of other Aerojet
organizations are not valid.
Supplier price quotations are to be submitted only to Procurement representatives.
While supplier interface and technical interchange are a part of doing business,
the purchase of goods or services, or the commitment of Aerojet funds by a
person not having authority to do so, is a violation of Aerojet policy. Procurement
representatives will arrange for special presentations or demonstrations at
the request of Aerojet technical personnel or at their own discretion. In
all cases, technical advice or assistance must be provided only with the prior
knowledge of a cognizant Procurement representative.
Visits by Aerojet personnel to a supplier require advance coordination with
the Procurement representative when procurement matters are to be discussed.
Purchase Orders
Acceptance of our Purchase Order constitutes a contract between the Buyer
and the Supplier. When you are awarded a Purchase Order, you will receive
it via fax, e-mail, verbally, or by hard copy. The Purchase Order contains
all of the terms and conditions that apply to your performance on the Purchase
Order. Do not sign the acknowledgment copy or initiate performance until you
understand and agree to all of the terms and conditions. If you need help,
contact the Buyer for clarification or any necessary changes.
Gifts and Gratuities
Aerojet employees are not permitted to accept gifts or gratuities from any
supplier for themselves or for their families. Aerojet employees are not permitted
to take advantage of their position to obtain discounts on procurement of
articles for personal use. This is construed by Aerojet as a gratuity.
Generally, however, it is permissible for employees to accept advertising
novelties, provided that the item is of no appreciable value to the employee
and is widely distributed to others with essentially the same business relationship.
