This has arisen as a personal need.

The current component attributes manufacturer and mpn are great for generating useful BOMs.
However, often it is also important to specify a specific supplier, which likely uses an independent part numbering system.

Proposal: add supplier and spn fields, analogously to manufacturer and mpn.

Obviously, it may also be desired to provide more than one supplier for a given part. That feature is beyond the scope of this feature proposal; realistically, complex supplier management should be left to a dedicated ERP system, which could map company-internal part numbers (using the pn attribute) to any number of manufacturers and suppliers.

The component nodes might get rather crowded when pn, manufacturer, mpn, supplier and spn all have values assigned. Hiding these fields in the graphical diagram, and resorting to BOM cross-referencing (as will be made possible by #226) should alleviate this.
