The document outlines the procedures for submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) within the context of defense procurement. It specifies that SARs should be directed to the buyer listed in open solicitations for national stock numbers (NSNs). However, SARs will not be evaluated for fully competitive items, denoted by AMSC “G.” Submissions must now use the DoD SAFE file transmission site instead of mailing CDs, simplifying the process. Interested parties must email a request to DLA Aviation, providing key details such as CAGE code and NSN. The document emphasizes the importance of assessing cost-effectiveness before submitting a SAR by consulting the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application for item demand forecasts. It also provides instructions to access the PUB LOG FLIS database to determine the usage of the NSN and track approved sources. The review process for SARs might exceed 180 days, after which submitters will receive formal notification regarding the results. Overall, this guidance streamlines SAR submissions while ensuring compliance with efficiency and demand considerations essential for defense contracting.
