    AVN SAR Submit Instructions.pdf
    The document outlines the process for submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) related to national stock numbers (NSNs) for the Department of Defense. SARs must be sent electronically through the DoD SAFE file transmission site, as mail submissions are no longer accepted. If there is an open solicitation, submissions should be directed to the buyer listed; however, SARs for items already marked as fully competitive will not be processed. To ensure cost-effectiveness, it is essential to check item demand via the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application before proceeding. The review of submitted SARs can take over 180 days, after which a formal notification letter will inform the requester of the decision. For assistance or questions, requests can be directed to DLA Aviation's SAR analyst via email. This updated process aims to streamline submissions and improve efficiency in handling SARs for government procurement purposes.
    SAR Handbook.pdf
    The Aviation Source Approval and Management Handbook outlines procedures and policies for approving sources of aviation parts, ensuring that they meet quality, safety, and compliance standards for military applications. It emphasizes the importance of full and open competition in contracting, as mandated by various federal regulations. The handbook addresses the roles of different authorities in source approval, detailing types of sources that can be approved, such as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and established suppliers, and emphasizes the necessity of rigorous Source Approval Requests (SARs) for alternate suppliers. Key sections include the responsibilities of procuring activities, SAR risk management, and the review process focusing on technical capabilities and quality assurance. The handbook also covers reverse engineering processes and guidelines for surplus material procurement, highlighting the need for traceability and adherence to technical specifications. The overarching goal is to ensure that all aviation components are derived from certified and reliable sources to maintain airworthiness and operational readiness within military aviation systems, promoting efficiency and safety in government contracting practices.
