It specifies that SARs should be sent directly to the buyer for open solicitations, whereas those without open solicitations must be submitted electronically via the DoD SAFE site, eliminating the use of physical media like CDs. The submission process requires an email request to receive a drop-off link, including essential information like CAGE code and NSN. The document emphasizes the importance of evaluating item demand and provides resources for estimating requirements. The review period for SARs may exceed 180 days, after which formal notification will be issued. Key resources mentioned include the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application and PUB LOG FLIS for tracking multiple service management. This guidance is crucial for entities seeking to navigate the approval process efficiently within the context of government procurement and contracting.
