Support for NATO nations and NATO bodies

As NATO’s premier logistics Agency, NAMSA provides cooperative logistics services to its customers – the NATO nations and other NATO bodies – underpinned by three basic principles: consolidation, centralization and competition.

Consolidation. NAMSA consolidates identical or similar logistics requirements expressed by two or more of its customers. The consolidation of requirements means larger quantities can be ordered, resulting in lower prices.

Centralization. By placing their requirements with NAMSA, customers have the added advantage of addressing a single entity rather than having to deal with a multitude of suppliers.

Competition. NAMSA’s international competitive bidding allows a widest market to be scoured to obtain the best quality at the lowest prices.

As an international organisation, NAMSA is exempt from value added tax (VAT) and customs duties. In addition, thanks to an agreement with the US Government, the surcharge levied on Foreign Military Sales (FMS) is waived in most of such transactions handled by NAMSA.

Support for Partnership for Peace (PfP) States

After a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between a PfP State and NAMSA, that State can participate in existing Weapon System Partnerships as an Associate State. In this way, NAMSA is authorised by the NAMSO Board of Directors (BOD) to provide its whole range of logistic services to PfP States.
