When it comes to traceability, the AS9100 standard does not give detailed requirements on how to do this, but only says that you need to control the unique identity if that is a requirement, and retain documents necessary to ensure this traceability.
So, as per the standard, your question goes back to what your customer's requirements are. If your customer allows waivers on traceability, then that is acceptable, but if not, then it is not acceptable. As the standard is used by any organization within aerospace, the requirements only describe what needs to be done but need to be supplemented with the customer and legal requirements.

The answer depends on how the ISO 9001 certification is structured within the big business.
If the big business is ISO 9001 certified at an organizational level, it keeps certification.
If the certification was contract-specific, the certification may no longer apply to that contract. The small business would need to become ISO 9001 certified if required for the contract.
