NAACS ACHIEVEMENTS

The NAACS is the only organization that protects and represents the interests of the military surplus aircraft parts industry. The NAACS achievements include the following:

• Do you sell surplus parts to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)?
The NAACS worked with DLA to create new procurement rules that are designed to increase DLA’s acquisition of former Government-owned surplus parts.

• Do you buy surplus parts from DRMS or Government Liquidation?
Through its lobbying efforts, the NAACS successfully worked to change the language in DLA’s End Use Certificate (EUC) Form 1822, thereby preventing the Government from having the right to seize property from a company’s inventory and/or searching your premises without your permission.

• Do you sell surplus parts to commercial and general aviation operators and FAA repair stations? The NAACS played a vital role at the FAA providing specific language adopted by the FAA and contained in the issuance of several advisory circulars that make it clear that military surplus aircraft parts are eligible candidates to be installed on commercial type-certificated aircraft.

• Working with other industry groups, the NAACS has twice defeated proposed legislation in Congress that, if enacted, would have allowed the Department of Defense to seize from you items that you lawfully purchased on the alleged ground that further demilitarization was required.

• The NAACS’ staff defends and represents the military surplus aircraft parts industry before numerous Congressional offices and committees, the General Accounting Office and Offices of the DoD Inspector General.

• The NAACS continues to lobby DLA and Congress to discourage excessively large acquisitions or the use of Corporate Contracts that prevent the participation of small businesses.

• The NAACS serves as a watch-dog over Government Liquidation, by working to ensure that sale item descriptions are accurate and that traceability documentation is provided with parts. The NAACS has lobbied Government Liquidation to prevent private treaty or "back door" sale
