    AVN SAR Submit Instructions.pdf
    The document outlines the procedures for submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) related to national stock numbers (NSNs) to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. It specifies the submission process for SARs only when there is an open solicitation, indicating that SARs for items already deemed fully competitive will not be evaluated. Electronic submissions have replaced the previous requirement for mail-in CDs, streamlining the process through the DoD SAFE file transmission site. Requestors must email DLA Aviation for a drop-off link, providing their CAGE code, NSN, and preferred email address. There are cost-effectiveness considerations impacting the evaluation of SARs, especially for items with low demand. Additional resources like the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application and PUB LOG FLIS are available for users to assess item demand and associated services. The review process may take over 180 days, concluding with a formal notification regarding the SAR's outcome. For further inquiries, contact details for DLA Aviation are provided.
    SAR Handbook.pdf
    The Aviation Source Approval and Management Handbook outlines policies and procedures for the approval and management of suppliers for aviation parts, particularly those classified as Critical Safety Items (CSIs). The document emphasizes compliance with federal regulations, promoting full and open competition among suppliers. It identifies various categories of approved sources, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), licensed manufacturers, and those on qualified products lists. The process for assessing new sources includes developing a Source Approval Request (SAR), highlighting the importance of risk management and quality assurance in evaluating suppliers. The handbook also provides guidelines for reverse engineering and offers specifics on how surplus materials can be procured, emphasizing that the origin and traceability of these materials are crucial. Local purchases and repairs are permitted only under extraordinary circumstances and must be justified. Furthermore, service depots can manufacture CSIs under specific conditions, while Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) parts require different considerations for military application. This document is vital for ensuring that the Department of Defense maintains high safety and quality standards while efficiently managing its supply chain for aviation equipment, promoting reliability and compliance in the procurement process.
