Early March 2026: 4 Goals Accomplished
It's early March and I've now accomplished my 4th writing goal for the year of 2026. Before diving into the behind-the-scenes of it... why not tell you up front what that accomplishment was? I was published in a 2nd publication for this year. Published in Helix Literary Magazine out of Central Connecticut State University. You can read it for free right now!

Why NSN Parts and CAGE Codes Are Important in Aerospace Procurement
Aerospace procurement is one of the most complex and highly regulated areas of global supply chains. Aircraft and defense systems require thousands of specialized components that must meet strict quality, safety, and traceability standards. In such an environment, accurate identification of parts and reliable supplier verification are essential. This is where National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) codes play a critical role. These standardized identification systems help organizations streamline procurement, maintain compliance, and ensure that the correct components are sourced from trusted suppliers.
