BWX Technologies, Inc.

Our operations use raw materials, such as carbon and alloy steels in various forms and components and accessories for assembly, which are available from numerous sources. We generally purchase these raw materials and components as needed for individual contracts. Although shortages of some raw materials have existed occasionally, no serious shortage exists at the present time.

Our Government Operations and Commercial Operations segments rely on a limited number of suppliers, including single-source suppliers, for certain materials used in our products; however, we believe the suppliers of these materials are reliable. Additionally, we and the U.S. Government expend significant effort to monitor and maintain the supplier base for our Government Operations segment.
