What Is Surplus:

Genuine US Surplus by definition is:

• Extent to which generation of goods, and resources (such as inventory) exceeds their consumption. Surplus of resources is the bedrock on which capitalism is built.
• Goods that are in excess of the requirement and cannot be returned to the vendor for credit, but are useful for some purpose.
• Remainder of an appropriation account after all expenditure.
• Unusual situation in a government budget where revenue exceeds expenditure.
• Before ordering certain items check with state and local laws regarding possession.

Item Descriptions:

Photos are accurate but may not be exact product matches. Surplus is manufactured for the government by multiple suppliers and will vary slightly from product to product. NSN numbers are accurate, however, the number may not be printed on labels for individual components.

Condition:

New Condition: These items, even though they may be several years old, are still unissued and new. They may or may not be in the original packaging. The Government will consolidate and distribute in the most appropriate manor to suit their needs. They may be packaged individually for resupply, or in bulk for major distribution. They can and often times will have imperfections due to transportation, distribution, and prolonged storage in varying environments. Your NEW boots may have been in a crate for three years- and in three different countries. Expect scuffs, wrinkles in fabric, etc., but know these are the best of the best!

Very Good Condition: These items are usually new or nearly new items that a soldier put his or her name on. They may have never used it or used it only a few times (ask any military member to remember an item they were issued and never used – they have one!) Products are often changed and upgraded after noticing areas where manufacturing could be improved. These areas are often the only areas affected in this condition. Imagine: snaps and zippers with finishes starting to rub off, buckles that have scuffs from rubbing other buckles, Velcro that attached itself to fabric instead of the other piece of Velcro, etc. Expect minor stains and pinholes in fabric as well.

Good Condition: The really tried and true pieces.  If these pieces could talk, they would tell you a great story of war.  Or maybe it’s just a boring new old stock patrol bag that got snagged on a nail on the crate and got thrown into this category.  Either way, these items show moderate military use and/or have flaws that are too great to be considered very good condition.  These items likely need laundered, may be missing a buckle that doesn’t interfere with the use of the product, have faded fabric, a torn seam, holes that could use a patch, etc.

Shipping:

Due to carrier restrictions, some items cannot be shipped to Alaska and Hawaii only the lower 48.
