Yes, there is the Exchange. But does anyone have a list of Fed vendors and what they sell? I am looking for crafting fodder, mk IV and III kits and equipment. I have the samples but I just need the base equipment.
What I am looking for:
Tactical kit - fire team Mk IV
Personal Shield Mk Iv
Impulse engines Mk IV
Deflector Array Mk iv
Your best chance is to wait for them to come up on the exchange, or help out some guys doing missions in those areas in hope some pieces may drop for you
For some reason, Klingons get access to vendors with mk IV stuff, for creds...but since I haven't found a way to send creds to an alt yet, that becomes a bit problematic...

you can get green from pvp or explore but no good for crafting
acctualy some places do sell MK4+ Equipment. you only need to know were to look
For example Sierra stabase 39 has MK4 equipment it however seems to look like an asteroid field when it is
really a starbase. Other stations do have higher MK equipment but not in the sol system.
