    The Aviation Source Approval and Management Handbook outlines the policies and procedures for managing and approving sources of aviation critical safety items (CSIs).

Key sections detail types of sources eligible for approval, responsibilities of procuring activities, and the Source Approval Request (SAR) process, which includes risk management, technical reviews, and quality assurance evaluations. The handbook also discusses the need for maintaining airworthiness of CSIs sourced from unapproved suppliers, source reciprocity among services, and criteria for reverse engineering existing components. It underscores that any alternate sources or manufacturers must provide thorough documentation to prove compliance with established standards. The guidance is intended to foster competition while ensuring safety and reliability in supplying critical aviation components, aligning with federal and defense acquisition regulations.
