Reading the part number. MIL-A-12560 cites military specification MIL-A-12560. A spec citation covers every item made to that document, so the NSN — not the spec number — is what uniquely identifies this access cover; the cross-referenced stock number below is the exact item.
Price in context. Across the 435 items we currently stock in FSC 5340 (Hardware, Commercial), published unit prices run from $0.35 to $14,018.40. At $1,752.30, this item sits well above the class median of $66.59 — typical of assemblies and higher-value line items in this class.
Who orders MIL-A-12560. Aircraft owners and MRO shops replacing standard hardware, machine shops and OEMs filling a bill of materials, and government contractors sourcing against NSN 5340-01-233-1140. You can order by part number or by stock number — it is the same item, the same published price, and the same quote form.
Applicable standards. MS, MIL-DTL, and commercial standards; steel, stainless, aluminum, and plated finishes.

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.
