What paperwork comes with your parts?

Every part ships with AS9100 and AS9120 documentation, plus manufacturer certificates and material traceability. We share all of this with your quote, not after you have already paid.

How fast can you get me a quote?

Most requests get a response within 24 hours. If you have an unplanned outage, let us know and we will try to turn it around the same day.

Do you ship outside the US?

Yes, we ship to over 150 countries. We handle the export paperwork for turbine and control system components, including items with dual-use restrictions.

What is a CAGE code and why does it matter?

It is a unique ID for the manufacturer or supplier of a part, used in defense and government procurement. For turbine buyers, it confirms you are getting the part from the company that actually made it, not a lookalike from some unverified source.

How do you stop counterfeit parts?

Every part goes through inspection and documentation checks before it ships. If we cannot verify where a part came from, we do not stock it, no matter how badly someone needs it.

Can you find obsolete or discontinued parts?

That is actually where we do our best work. Legacy Mark V control cards, discontinued combustion hardware, older Speedtronic components. Our network of 1,200 suppliers means we can often find parts that other distributors have given up on.

Understanding NSN Numbers in Aerospace Parts

By Sarah ChenMay 20, 2026678 views

The NATO Stock Number (NSN) system is a standardized classification used by NATO member countries to identify and track supply items.

NSN Structure

An NSN consists of 13 digits: a 4-digit Federal Supply Class (FSC) followed by a 9-digit National Item Identification Number (NIIN).

First 4 digits: Federal Supply Class (FSC) — categorizes the item type
Next 2 digits: NATO country code of the originating nation
Last 7 digits: Unique item identification number

Benefits of NSN Tracking

Using NSNs speeds up procurement, ensures part interoperability across allied forces, and reduces inventory management overhead. Most military and government contracts require NSN identification for all supplied parts.
