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 meets 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 the appropriate
measures when utilizing these parts based on their risk posture. A mission-specific approach
tailored to a project's Mission, Environment, Applications and Lifetime (MEAL) requirements
should be developed and approved by program/project managers. Any associated risks should be
clearly identified, quantified, mitigated, and/or accepted. Neither the United States Government
(USG) nor any person acting on behalf of the USG assumes any liability resulting from the use of
the information contained herein.
