These are smaller, primarily-online retailers who sell components for low-, mid- and high-power rocketry. Parts that exceed the bounds of hobby rocketry will have to be sourced separately.
Buy motors here. BAR is an on-site supplier at almost every NorCal launch.
Call beforehand to make sure your item is actually in stock (do not trust website), then order online for pickup at launch.
Increase your chances of getting your order by picking it up before launch, and ordering two weeks in advance.
Carries almost exclusively Aerotech motors.
Also carries motor hardware (casings, closures), although stock may be limited for closures and seal discs.
The on-site motor supplier for IREC. Sometimes comes up to TCC, but rarely as they are based in Arizona. Can order online, but careful with shipping fees.
Carries almost exclusively Cesaroni motors, although can source large Aerotech orders given enough lead time.
Like a Walmart of rocketry. They’ve got pretty much anything you need!
Nice rail buttons.
Original manufacturer of Blue Tube and potentially the cheapest source.
Offers custom cuts/slots in tubes (usually for fins).
Our best (only) source for fiberglass tubes and filament-wound nosecones.
Also sells quality fiberglass kits, albiet at a premium.
Their website sucks (seriously, was it built in the 50’s?).
We primarily buy: phenolic motor mounts, fiberglass nose cones
Also sell custom fiberglass fins (email for quote) and quite a bit more.
10% Discount Code: Email them, they give universities a discount
High quality parachutes (will pack lighter and smaller), but pricey.

Less-expensive parachutes, but with lower Cd and fewer shroud lines
Good option for L1/L2 projects where personal costs incurred are a factor
Great source for Kevlar shock cord and flame protectors.
Also sells a variety of other recovery components and hardware.
These are the same electric matches available from BAR, but without the markup. Used for recovery.
Altimeters and GPS trackers for recovery/flight events, original manufacturer.

Non-Rocketry suppliers:
Common hardware items like quick-links, swivels, and screws can often be found for cheaper at https://www.mcmaster.com/ or https://www.amazon.com/--don't pay more if you can find them for less!
