Investigate opportunities to encourage, foster and develop small or minority-owned businesses.
To not accept gratuities, entertainment or gifts (unless they are of nominal value).
Ensure that meals provided by a supplier are associated with a meeting that serves a valid business purpose.

Once you have entered into a contract with AMSEA, your prompt, reliable delivery and/or task accomplishment is vital to the success of our programs.

Of primary importance is to comply with the specifications or instructions of the order and technical data package. Notify the buyer promptly if you feel our instructions are unclear, or if you have not received any items agreed to have been furnished by us. Also, notify the buyer promptly of any anticipated delays in your promised material delivery or performance.

We expect materials to ship and services to be rendered in accordance with the promised date on the Purchase Order.

Should the shipment not be to specification, it will be returned to the supplier for replacement at the supplier’s expense, and the supplier’s quality record will be noted. Rejections are costly to buyer and seller.
