We have a list of Millwork Companies listed in our Woodwork Spec. I hesitate to call them "approved" since the present state of the company is unknown.

Wondering how you guys handle this?

For this, MasterSpec uses "Fabricators" as it does "Manufacturers."

("Fabricators: Subject to compliance with requirements, provide products by one of the following.")

This makes sense to me.

I too avoid the terms "approved" and "accepted". I list manufacturers like this:

2.1 MANUFACTURERS

A. Basis of Design: ABC Company.

B. Other Manufacturers: Subject to compliance with requirements, provide products by one of the following:

1. DEF Inc.
2. GHI Enterprises.
3. JKL Manufaucturing.
4. Or approved substitute during the bid process per Specification Sections 002113 and 012500.
