Thanks Andy.
I think I am prepared for this. I have spent months re-writing Management Systems, Procedures and work instructions. I went to Pittsburgh for the convention/symposium, in July. I met with a lot of the Prime reps and got some good info from them. There is only one unrestricted auditor (We are heavily ITAR weighted) so that should (shall) hopefully go in our favor. The staff engineer is a young kid and is easily pursuaded. I have found from reading past forums that the auditor will probably just stick to the checklist, which I have painstakingly gone through, item by item, to make sure we are covered. This accreditation will complete our trilogy: DSCC, AS9100 (Scored 98.9% initial audit) and Nadcap. Will it REALLY keep the contract Manufacturers out of my facility for their own audits? That is my biggest question and I have doubts.
