I was just really wondering if there were websites where a company could quote on work only to be performed by an ISO "registered" company.

No, because it's more than just about being registered to a standard! Plus, as has been pointed out, everyone (just about) is doing it.

One question I have for you is what does your CB do for you in this respect? Did you chose the one you have because they were positioned in the markets you operate in? Or where they cheap? Or was it that the auditor was down the road a few miles? Do your current customers know anything about your CB?

OK, gotcha.
To be honest, I was not part of the registrar selection process so I can't answer those questions.

Kosmo, One thing that has been alluded to here, but may not be quite clear is that your company needs to determine what sets it apart from all of the other ISO registered machine shops out there (is it price, quality, delivery/turn around time, ???). You will then need to push these advantages, not just the ISO registration. Good luck in this new adventure, as breaking into a new market is tough today (but not impossible).

HI Kosmo,

Congrats on achieving ISO registration!!! As others have pointed out, ISO registration is not, of and by itself, a "stand-out" factor anymore and thier advice on marketing is spot-on.

However, I would suggest that a very busy market, even in these slow times, is the defense industry. Being ISO registered is part of the "entry ticket" which is required to bid on DoD work (you must also have a GSA schedule). A great place to seek out this work is "Govt. Biz Ops", a website that lists all of the contract that are coming up for bid, as well as, the winners of the bids. If you review the winners, their quals and capabilities, you will quickly learn what it will take to be competitive.

Many contracts are now requiring the bidders to be using "Lean", "Six Sigma", and "theory of Constraints" methods (or a combination of them).

In any event, that site will point you to related sites and provide a rich source of leads.

Good Luck!!!
