    Aviation Source Approval Management Handbook.pdf
    The Aviation Source Approval and Management Handbook outlines the policies and procedures for the approval and management of sources supplying aviation Critical Safety Items (CSIs) for the Department of Defense (DoD). The handbook establishes the roles of various stakeholders, including the cognizant Service Engineering Support Activity (ESA), which is responsible for ensuring that suppliers meet technical requirements and quality standards. It details the types of sources considered for approval, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), repair facilities, and licensed distributors, while emphasizing the importance of competition in procurement. Source Approval Requests (SARs) are critical for new suppliers seeking qualification, requiring detailed documentation of technical capabilities and quality assurance processes. The handbook also discusses regulations regarding reverse engineering and Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA), detailing stringent requirements to ensure the quality and safety of aviation components. Overall, the handbook serves as a comprehensive guide to managing the approval of sources necessary for maintaining airworthiness and operational safety in military aviation supply chains.
    AVN SAR Submit Instructions_2020.pdf
    The document outlines the new procedures for submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) related to national stock numbers (NSNs) within the Department of Defense (DoD). It specifies that SARs must be submitted electronically via the DoD SAFE file transmission site, abandoning the previous method of mail submissions through CDs. For NSNs with open solicitations, submissions should go directly to the respective buyer. For NSNs without open solicitations, applicants must email the DLA Aviation office to obtain a link to upload their SAR. The document emphasizes the importance of reviewing demand forecasts and provides resources to check the management and usage of NSNs. The review process may take over 180 days, after which applicants will receive formal notifications regarding the SAR outcomes. Overall, the document aims to streamline the process for submitting SARs while ensuring that only cost-effective requests are considered.
