National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program

The highest assurances of quality on earth and well beyond – the standards of the aerospace industry – now apply to industry at large through NADCAP. NADCAP represents major prime contractors, suppliers, and government agencies in aerospace, defense, and related industries throughout the United States and internationally. NADCAP is administered by the Performance Review Institute (PRI), an independent, not-for-profit trade association affiliated with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Through NADCAP, PRI accredits subcontractors and suppliers to aerospace and defense industry consensus standards. The “one-audit, one-time”, and for-all accreditation concept offers real cost reductions to both prime contractor and supplier.
