SCOIN Level Initiative
The Supply Chain Optimization and Intelligence Network (SCOIN) Program was launched June of 2023 to expand the MEP National Network’s scope to include not only individual manufacturing companies, but manufacturing supply chains in their entirety.
The Goals of the SCOIN Program are:
- Identify and map the capabilities and interconnections in manufacturing supply chains
- Improve the impact of supplier scouting services to build domestic supplier capabilities
- Mitigate risks in existing manufacturing supply chains
- Fortify and expand regional manufacturing supply networks
- Connect individual manufactures with larger primes and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)

NIST Supplier Scouting
The White House announced Executive Order (EO) 14005 – Executive Order on Ensuring the Future is Made in All of America by All American Workers, in January 2021. Through this EO, the MEP National NetworkTM (MEPNN) has been assigned the task of identifying manufacturers with desired production and technical capabilities and integrating them into larger supply chain networks. Additionally, the MEPNN connects suppliers with purchasers looking to fulfil their Build America, Buy America requirements.
With current supply chain conditions affecting small and medium-sized manufacturers the most, GENEDGE aims to make connecting with desired suppliers and purchasers easier through our supplier scouting services.
