Connect the intended outcomes, operating stages, stop conditions, and supporting technology concepts before opening the detailed action sequence.
- 01Resolve supplier identity and approved channels
- 02Define category-specific evidence and risk depth
- 03Record a narrow approval scope and conditions
- 04Establish monitoring, suspension and exit triggers
- 01Frame the exact relationship
A supplier may be suitable for one category, site or service and unsuitable or unassessed for another.
3 field actions ↓ - 02Resolve identity and provenance
Trading names, distributors, marketplaces and subcontractors can obscure who is accountable.
3 field actions ↓ - 03Test capability and resilience
A credential alone does not demonstrate delivery, complaint response or continuity.
3 field actions ↓ - 04Approve, monitor or suspend
An undocumented yes or no cannot guide orders or respond to change.

- G01
This review does not recommend, certify or legally qualify any supplier or product.

NIST SP 1326 is scoped to ICT due diligence; use it only for relevant digital supply-chain questions.
- G03
Use current category- and jurisdiction-specific authorities and qualified advisers.
Frame the exact relationship
A supplier may be suitable for one category, site or service and unsuitable or unassessed for another.
- 01Name supplied categories, intended operations, sites, jurisdictions, order channel and accountable farm owner
- 02Describe agronomic, human, animal, food, environmental, continuity, financial, data and cyber consequences
- 03Set evidence depth, reviewers, decision authority and review date proportionate to risk
Resolve identity and provenance
Trading names, distributors, marketplaces and subcontractors can obscure who is accountable.
- 01Record legal and trading entity, operating sites, authorized contacts and approved sales or support channels
- 02Map manufacturer, distributor, laboratory, service, cloud and subcontractor roles where material
- 03Preserve authoritative evidence location, issuer, identifier, scope, date, expiry, retrieval and reviewer
Test capability and resilience
A credential alone does not demonstrate delivery, complaint response or continuity.
- 01Review category-specific authority, quality, traceability, recall, complaint and corrective processes
- 02Assess supply, service, replacement, support, data export, access, incident and continuity dependencies
- 03Record gaps, compensating controls, trial limits, references or observed performance without inventing assurance
Approve, monitor or suspend
An undocumented yes or no cannot guide orders or respond to change.
- 01Record approved categories, locations, channels, limits, required documents, prohibited substitutions and conditions
- 02Define performance signals and change triggers for entity, product, registration, site, subcontractor, service, security or continuity
- 03Assign review, exception, suspension, open-order, inventory, access, data-return and exit owners
