Introduction
Explore NorthCrest's approach to U.S. assembly, component sourcing and traceability—and the documentation planned to support your product and procurement review.
Origin and production status
Origin claim
Designed and Assembled in the USA — allied-sourced components
That claim means three things. NCG-1 and NCG-1-D are designed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Final assembly will be done by a US contract manufacturer, selected per production run and named on that run's certificate of conformance. Components are allied-sourced, and the country of origin is recorded for every line of the bill of materials.
NorthCrest makes no broader origin claim than the one above.
Rev A modules are in the quoting stage. Production-run records and validation results will be added as they become available.
NDAA and Buy American wording on this page is under counsel review. Until it is cleared, no shorthand compliance language appears here.
Controlled sourcing
| Requirement | What we do | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Authorized purchasing | Production sourcing is specified through franchised distributors against the released BOM. No open-market or broker purchases for production runs. | Approved manufacturers and distributor invoices |
| Documented origin | Country of origin is intended to be recorded for every BOM line, including passives. | BOM origin entries and supporting source records |
| Controlled substitutions | Alternates must be approved before kitting; unlisted changes require written approval. | Released BOM and substitution approvals |
Non-PRC origin is a sourcing preference recorded per BOM line, not an exclusion guarantee.
Inspection and production controls
A record behind each production run.
The planned production record connects sourcing information, assembly documentation and unit-level test results. Validation details will be published as the process is established.
Traceability
Per-serial traceability means the label on a board resolves to its run folder: the released BOM, distributor invoices, reel-label photos with lot codes, fab and CM certificates of conformance, and the serial range with its test log.

Folder contents, per run
- 01Released BOM with approved manufacturers
- 02Distributor invoices
- 03Reel-label photos with lot codes
- 04Fab and CM certificates of conformance
- 05Serial range with test log
- 01Component records
- 02Production run

The controls that produce those records:
| Requirement | What we do | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Lot identity | Reels photographed at kitting, lot and date codes recorded against the run | Reel-label photos |
| Fab and assembly | US fab and US assembly, each named on the run's certificate of conformance; laminate Isola (US) or Panasonic (JP) | Fab CoC + CM CoC |
| Unit identity | One serial per board, one test log per serial | Serial range + test log |
