    AVN SAR Submit Instructions.pdf
    The document outlines the procedures for submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) for national stock numbers (NSNs) to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. It specifies that SARs should be submitted to the buyer of open solicitations and states that submissions cannot be made for items already deemed fully competitive. For NSNs with no open solicitations, SARs must be electronically submitted via the DoD SAFE file transmission site, replacing the previous practice of mailing CDs. The process includes emailing for a drop-off request, providing essential identifiers such as the CAGE code and NSN. Additionally, SAR submissions could be deemed ineffective if the item demand is low. The document advises checking the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application for demand forecasts, and it also covers the review timeline, which can exceed 180 days. Formal notifications will be sent regarding SAR results. This information is crucial for stakeholders involved in government contracting and supply chain management within the defense sector, emphasizing a streamlined electronic submission process to enhance efficiency and compliance.
