The company procures optical and fabricated materials, components, electronics, and other supplies to support its research and development programs. It encounters challenges such as scarcity of certain fabricated materials, supply delays, and limited access to qualified suppliers. Geopolitical factors—including embargos, tariffs, trade disruptions, and overseas conflicts—affect the availability and cost of materials, particularly electronics and diode and laser materials. Inflation and military actions impacting oil and natural gas supply also contribute to increased costs. Due to its relatively small size and need for specialized components, the company faces difficulties in supplier prioritization and order fulfillment, competing with larger customers for low-volume specialized materials and experiencing longer lead times for customized components. The company monitors supply chain issues and supplier liquidity, and seeks to mitigate delays and reduce costs through strategies such as consolidating purchases, establishing long-term agreements, reducing the number of suppliers, strategic global sourcing, and developing scarce components. While it sometimes relies on single sources, the company aims to establish multiple sources to minimize risk. Compliance requirements may further restrict supplier options.
