Suppliers to the catagory are largely sought through a tender process.
In the case of the ZB Commodore, Triple Eight are the custodians of the Supercar IP with regards to the appearance of the racecar, and the componentry which achieves the desired look. This was Holden's decision, and Supercars backed it. Same goes for the engines.
As time goes on, the market may open up to allow perhaps another party to carry out the servicing and maintenance of the V6TT, likewise the production of the body parts that aren't a genuine GM item.
I recall a time, in the early days of COTF, where only a select few teams were allowed to produce the chassis. Initially, GRM and BJR weren't included. They've probably built more chassis in recent times than anyone else.
