  1. 01Frame the exact relationship

    A supplier may be suitable for one category, site or service and unsuitable or unassessed for another.

  2. 02Resolve identity and provenance

    Trading names, distributors, marketplaces and subcontractors can obscure who is accountable.

  3. 03Test capability and resilience

    A credential alone does not demonstrate delivery, complaint response or continuity.

  4. 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.

  • G02

    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.

Why this stage matters

Frame the exact relationship

A supplier may be suitable for one category, site or service and unsuitable or unassessed for another.

  1. 01Name supplied categories, intended operations, sites, jurisdictions, order channel and accountable farm owner
  2. 02Describe agronomic, human, animal, food, environmental, continuity, financial, data and cyber consequences
  3. 03Set evidence depth, reviewers, decision authority and review date proportionate to risk
Follow the stages in order, then return to earlier observations whenever field conditions, crop response, safety requirements, or local guidance change the decision.
