I am familiar with ISO-9001, as my company was based in the Washington, DC area and our interaction with all things Global here.  On a cursory level, as to what I saw (over the 27 years we were in operation), is that the ISO program was utilized by Fed contractors as well as NGOs and large(r) INTERNATIONAL organizations who produced a product or provided a service.

In my opinion, and in my view, the ISO quality standard is just stating the obvious(Provide a quality product while following a certain level of standards & procedures).  The process of certification is long, painful & costly; on the hope & prayer it will pay off with additional contracts that are written to require ISO certification.  Its the same way I feel(felt) about a GSA schedule...spend $25,000.00 to produce a pricing schedule with the hope & prayer that the Fed will buy from you..

I grew & ran a business (that allowed me to retire at 55) in the DC area solely on the principles of, "do the right thing," "produce a quality product," " the customer is always right," & "charge a fair price."  I didn't need any other organization to tell me what quality is or was; I already knew...common sense. 

It's possible that NuCamp sees things similarly, and the cost of admission is weighty and that they feel they have already attained a QOS & QOP level.🤷🏻‍♂️

just my 2cents.
