Even if you did order enough to produce a run, there is no guarantee you’ll get the full quantity or any at all. Suffice it to say I know this first hand. Had a vendor come back and say, “Sorry, we know we promised your order by June, but it isn’t going to happen.” Thankfully getting a break on a new part, but respin and recertification cost and time are also causing heartburn.

Sounds like a contracting problem to me.
