Reading the part number. MIL-A-2550 cites military specification MIL-A-2550. A spec citation covers every item made to that document, so the NSN — not the spec number — is what uniquely identifies this back plate lock; the cross-referenced stock number below is the exact item.
Price in context. Across the 253 items we currently stock in FSC 5315 (Nails, Machine Keys, and Pins), published unit prices run from $0.18 to $26,284.50. At $350.46, this item sits well above the class median of $17.52 — typical of assemblies and higher-value line items in this class.
Who orders MIL-A-2550. Aircraft owners and MRO shops replacing standard hardware, machine shops and OEMs filling a bill of materials, and government contractors sourcing against NSN 5315-00-809-0680. You can order by part number or by stock number — it is the same item, the same published price, and the same quote form.

Country of origin: Türkiye (Turkey) — a DFARS qualifying country. Türkiye is a NATO ally with a reciprocal defense procurement agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense, making it a qualifying country under DFARS 225.003. On DoD and DLA solicitations, qualifying-country end products are evaluated without Buy American price penalties — they compete on par with domestic product — and DoD trade-agreements clauses (DFARS 252.225-7021) expressly accept qualifying-country end products.
Dollar thresholds. The Trade Agreements Act only applies to supply contracts at or above $174,000 (the WTO GPA threshold effective March 2026); below that — where the vast majority of hardware buys fall — the TAA does not apply at all. The main exclusion is civilian-agency solicitations at or above that threshold that restrict award to TAA designated-country products (Türkiye is not TAA-designated). Buyers are responsible for confirming the origin requirements of their specific solicitation.
Full country-of-origin and source documentation is provided with every order. Fulfillment within 90 days of order. Minimum order may apply.
Items are supplied as stock mil-spec / commercial hardware with source documentation and country-of-origin paperwork on every order. Parts are not supplied with an FAA Form 8130-3 airworthiness tag unless expressly stated on the quote. Buyers installing hardware on certificated aircraft are responsible for acceptance under their own maintenance program, repair station procedures, or owner/operator authority.
