Everything between "we need this part" and "it's here."
Most of the work in buying aerospace parts happens out of sight: finding who still makes it, comparing sources, checking the paperwork, clearing export rules, and following the shipment. We handle all of it, so you send one list and get back one answer.
- Send your list.
Email info@spdfrc.com or use the quote form, in whatever format you have. - Get one quote.
A price, lead time and maker for every line. - Send a purchase order.
We confirm price, quantity and ship dates in writing. - Receive your parts.
Checked against your order, with tracking and paperwork by email the day they ship.
Ordering from us for the first time? First orders are paid in advance. After that, approved accounts pay Net 30. California orders carry sales tax unless we have your resale or exemption certificate, so send it with your first order.
One list in, one quote out.
Send your list however you have it: a spreadsheet, a PDF from your requirement, or a few lines in an email. We find the makers and sources, compare them, and send back one quote with a price and lead time for every line.
What helps us quote it right the first time:
- The full part number, including the dash number at the end
- Quantity, and the date you need it by
- Any makers your drawing or contract limits you to
- Special requirements on your contract, such as domestic metals or approved sources
- The paperwork you need with the parts
When a maker only sells in packs, or buying a few more drops the unit price, the quote shows both options so you can choose.
What arrives with your parts, and why it matters.
In aerospace, a part without its paperwork is a part you cannot use. These are the documents we send and what each one does for you:
| Document | What it tells you | Why you want it |
|---|---|---|
| Certificate of conformance | The parts meet the specification on your order | Your inspector and your customer will ask for it |
| Batch and date records | Which production batch the parts came from and when they were made | If a maker ever recalls a batch, you know at once whether you are affected |
| Maker test reports | The maker's own test results, when the maker issues them | Extra proof for critical or high-reliability builds |
Keep these with your receiving records. If you ever need a copy again, ask and we will resend it.
Overseas orders without the guesswork.
Many aerospace and defense parts are controlled by U.S. export law. Some can ship anywhere with standard paperwork. Others need a government license before they can leave the country, and a license can take weeks.
- Before we quote, we check whether each part is export-controlled and tell you if a license will be needed.
- If a license is needed, we apply for it. Some licenses need a short statement signed by you and the end user saying how the parts will be used.
- Every party on every order is checked against the U.S. government's restricted lists.
- The export filing is done before the shipment leaves.
If you need parts overseas by a certain date, mention it on your request so we can plan around any license time.
Packed right, tracked all the way.
- Shipping: FedEx with tracking, in the U.S. and overseas. You get the tracking number the day it ships. Prefer your own carrier account? Tell us and we will ship on it.
- Packaging: Parts arrive bagged and labeled by batch, so your receiving team can match them to the paperwork in seconds.
- Military packaging and marking: Available on request. Ask for it on your request for quote so it is priced in.
