    The "Aviation Source Approval and Management Handbook" outlines policies and procedures for managing and approving sources for aviation parts, particularly focusing on Critical Safety Items (CSIs). The handbook emphasizes promoting full and open competition in procurement, ensuring that all potential sources meet stringent technical and quality standards. It details specific categories of sources considered for approval, including OEMs, licensed manufacturers, and distributors, and establishes responsibilities for procuring activities in source management. Key chapters include guidelines on Source Approval Requests (SAR), reverse engineering processes, site surveys, and validation of sources. The document mandates that all CSIs, particularly from unapproved sources in existing inventories, undergo thorough evaluation and testing before approval. Moreover, it highlights the importance of maintaining a pool of approved sources to ensure operational readiness and safety in aviation operations, while also allowing for efficiency through source reciprocity among military services. The handbook serves as a comprehensive guide for government entities involved in sourcing and procurement for aviation parts, fostering safety, quality assurance, and compliance with regulatory frameworks.
