    The "Aviation Source Approval and Management Handbook," dated March 16, 2011, outlines the procedures and policies for the approval and management of sources supplying critical safety items (CSIs) in aviation. The handbook emphasizes compliance with federal regulations to ensure full and open competition in procurement, highlighting the roles and responsibilities of Integrated Materiel Managers and Engineering Support Activities (ESAs). It details the processes for Source Approval Requests (SARs), including risk management and technical reviews, to confirm that suppliers can meet quality standards for aviation components. Different categories of sources considered for approval are specified, such as original equipment manufacturers, licensed facilities, and alternative sources. The document also discusses the necessity of validating existing suppliers and the implications of surplus materials and reverse engineering in procurement. It underscores the importance of maintaining airworthiness while balancing cost-effectiveness, thereby guiding the military and defense agencies in efficient sourcing practices in compliance with established safety and quality standards. Overall, the handbook serves as a comprehensive guide to ensure that all CSIs are sourced from approved suppliers to protect aviation safety and operational integrity.
