    AVN SAR Submit Instructions.pdf
    The document outlines the procedures for submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) for national stock numbers (NSNs) within the Department of Defense (DoD). SAR submissions must be directed to the buyer indicated in open solicitations; however, SARs for items already designated as fully competitive will not be evaluated. Submissions for NSNs without open solicitations must utilize the DoD SAFE electronic file transmission system rather than mailing CDs, streamlining the process. Applicants need to request a “SAR drop off” link via email, providing their CAGE code, the NSN, and a contact email. The document highlights that low item demand may render SARs unprocessed and suggests using the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application for demand forecasting. It also mentions that the review process could take over 180 days, after which applicants will receive formal notification regarding their SAR's outcome. Overall, this document serves as guidance for businesses seeking approval for supplying specific defense items, emphasizing electronic submission to improve efficiency and compliance with federal requirements.
