It seems Ford releases this info each year in two stages: first the composite list for the prior (above) year and then the latest additions.
Here's the latest additions (released today) to the Strategic Global Supplier list. I'm sort of surprised that Honeywell (EcoBoost Garrett turbos) isn't on there ...maybe next year? Fun to poke around each company's website: from huge multinationsals I'd never heard of to small minority-owned nich players ...interesting stuff! [edit:] and, just released, ...the composite list: strategic supplier hit-parade

Dunno if it's when they're in 'partnership' or when the product delivers. First EB is MKR later this summer(?) as a '10MY, I believe ...followed by T-SHO and a couple other '10s. Ford announced the deal with Honeywell 7/30/08 so maybe it's product MY ...dunno.
