Are these definitely mission-only?
According to material description, yes.
"Used by factions as a reward for mission contracts"
Are you sure you're talking about materials, not the cargo they also give you as rewards (which you can just sell)? I've yet to see anything mission-reward specific that's used in crafting.
Edit: if it is a material, perhaps it would help if you gave an example

To be more specific, it's Articulation Motor, for Grade 3 Overcharged Multi cannon.
I've yet to see a mission-only material, although many missions do give some material as reward. But I have really not been paying much if any attention to missions at all.
Completely offtopic, but I really love your signature Mephane
Aha, so it is a commodity (cargo) and it's used in a recipe and no...I can't see any other way to get it. Will have to see how big a deal it is when I get to the lofty heights of Grade 3 anything
Pretty sure it is a commodity that can be dropped. You could think outside the box and try asking. Am sure there are plenty of truckers out there with stuff they don't need. I have bunch of mission reward components that I'm selling off.
This guy has the motors you need, send him a PM and maybe trade for something - https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=255575
What if it's a bug? Some of commodities required by engineers are manufactured in certain systems, which should be mentioned in their description. I can't find articulation motors to check that, though.
