    AVN SAR Submit Instructions.pdf
    The document outlines the process for submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) related to specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs) within the Department of Defense (DoD). It specifies that SARs should be submitted to the designated buyer only for open solicitations and clarifies that proposals for fully competitive items are not accepted. For NSNs without open solicitations, SARs must now be submitted electronically via the DoD SAFE file transmission site, replacing the previous method of mail submissions. Submitters should email a request to obtain a "drop-off" link for their files, including essential details like CAGE code and NSN. Additionally, the document advises reviewing the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application for market forecasts before submission, as SARs may not be cost-effective for low-demand items. It mentions that the review process can last over 180 days and concludes with guidance on contacting the DLA Aviation SAR analyst for any inquiries. This document emphasizes streamlining the SAR submission process and ensuring compliance with defense logistical requirements, ultimately aiming to enhance supply chain efficiency within the military procurement framework.
