    The document outlines the protocol for submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) to the Department of Defense (DoD). It specifically instructs stakeholders to send SARs for national stock numbers (NSNs) with open solicitations directly to the designated buyer. For NSNs without open solicitations, submissions must utilize the DoD SAFE electronic transmission site, replacing the prior method of mailing CDs. Interested parties are advised to email the DLA Aviation office to request access for submission. Additionally, there are considerations regarding cost-effectiveness based on item demand, and the review process may extend beyond 180 days following receipt of the SAR. The document emphasizes the importance of assessing NSN management through the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application and provides details for accessing relevant databases. The overall purpose is to streamline the SAR submission process, ensuring compliance and efficiency in approvals for defense-related sourcing.
