DoD Safety Net

NAACS members provide DoD a "safety net" that affords DoD a resource for obtaining hard-to-find spare parts needed on an immediate basis, critical in these times of military conflict.   NAACS members essentially act as a cost-effective warehouse for the DoD whose only alternative would be to go back to the Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM") and request new production of old parts at tremendous cost to the taxpayer since the DoD has no way of storing, maintaining and inventorying these parts themselves.   The OEMs also cannot meet the short delivery schedules needed to support emergency military conflicts whereas NAACS members can sometimes provide overnight delivery.   Many NAACS members have received commendations from the U.S. military for their parts supply efforts in the Desert Storm and Desert Shield conflicts and continue their efforts today in the ongoing Iraqi and Afghanistan campaigns.  

Without question, NAACS members are truly DoD's "safety net" when it comes to the immediate acquisition of hard-to-find spare parts at great savings to the taxpayer.
