Raw forgings come from specialty shops; configuration plumbing and valves etc. likewise. GE bought fuel controls for some engines from Hamilton Standard, then part of United Technologies, a major competitor (think P&W).

But sometimes the engine builder buys the supplier's business, in order to exercise more control.
