About AEROSPACE SPEC BOLT

We know where the part came from.
So do you.

AEROSPACE SPEC BOLT is a surplus aerospace hardware specialist based in Pembroke Pines, FL. Every AN, MS, and NAS fastener in our inventory ships with full traceability documentation — no upcharge, no asking. Certified, inspected, priced 30–70% below new.

Surplus hardware done right

Aviation parts buyers have two problems: price and paperwork. New hardware is expensive. Surplus hardware is cheap but often shows up without documentation anyone would stake their airworthiness on. AEROSPACE SPEC BOLT exists to solve both.

We source certified surplus AN, MS, and NAS fasteners directly from aviation overhaul facilities, fleet dispersals, and verified surplus dealers — then inspect every batch before it hits inventory. Parts ship with FAA 8130-3 Authorized Release Certificates, manufacturer certifications, and the traceability records your IA, DER, or quality system requires. No chasing documents after the fact.

We operate out of Pembroke Pines, FL, with same-day shipping on in-stock orders placed before 2 PM ET. For AOG situations, call us directly. We prioritize Aircraft On Ground orders — that's not a marketing line, it's how we run the operation.

Every part ships with full trace documentation

"Surplus" doesn't mean unknown provenance. It means the part left a production line, moved through a documented aviation supply chain, and arrived here with the paperwork intact. Our QA process ensures that chain is unbroken before anything ships to you.

🏷️
Incoming Inspection
Every incoming lot is inspected against spec: part number, condition code, shelf-life status, and documentation completeness. Lots without verifiable trace documentation are quarantined and not listed for sale.
📄
FAA 8130-3 Authorization
FAA Authorized Release Certificates (8130-3) are included or available for every shipment. We can also provide dual-release (FAA/EASA Form 1) documentation on request for European operators — no additional lead time for standard parts.
🧊
Storage & Shelf-Life Management
Shelf-life-restricted parts (sealants, materials) are tracked by manufacture date and expiry. Parts approaching expiry are quarantined before listing. Temperature and humidity-sensitive hardware is stored per manufacturer specs. Condition is graded on receipt and reflected in each listing.
🛡️
ITAR / EAR Compliance Screening
All inventory is screened for ITAR/EAR classification prior to listing. We do not carry ITAR-controlled (USML) parts in our standard catalog. EAR99 and ECCN-classified parts are clearly flagged. International orders are reviewed before processing — we contact you if export documentation is required.
🔍
Supplier Verification
We vet every supplier source before accepting inventory. Documentation requirements, quality system status, and historical traceability are reviewed for each new supplier. We don't buy parts we can't fully document.
Returns on Cert Mismatch
If the documentation you receive doesn't match what was described for your part, we accept returns within 30 days — full refund, no questions. Getting the cert package right is part of what we sell.
📋
Detailed compliance documentation — cert tracking, EASA/CoC records, export screening logs, and audit request handling — is covered on our Compliance page. If you need documentation for an FAA inspection or insurance audit, email us with your order number.

People who know the spec

Aerospace hardware is not a commodity business you can run without domain knowledge. Part numbers mean nothing if you don't know what the suffixes indicate, which specs superseded which, and what documentation your customer's quality system actually requires. We do.
