ILPM & Established COTS List
The following is a list of Industry Leading Parts Manufacturers (ILPMs) and corresponding
"Established COTS Parts", as defined by the NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC)
Technical Assessment Phase II Report on Recommendations on the Use of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf
(COTS) Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical (EEE) Parts for NASA Missions
(NASA/TM-20220018183).
NASA has developed a relationship with the manufacturer to obtain company and product information
that verifies the manufacturer and specified product line meet the general criteria outlined in
the NESC recommendations. The information contained herein is presented for guidance to
projects when considering usage of these products in space applications. The guidance does not
distinguish between critical or non-critical systems, and a given project will need to apply
appropriate measures when utilizing these parts based on their risk posture. Users are advised
to request similar documentation to the extent necessary to determine part reliability is acceptable
based on the project's Mission, Environment, Application, and Lifetime (MEAL) requirements.
Note: part tolerance to ionizing radiation is not a part of the ILPM assessment process.
Neither the United States Government (USG) nor any person acting on behalf of the USG assumes
