The document also advises consulting the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application for demand estimations before submission. The review process for SARs can exceed 180 days, concluding with formal notification of the decision. Additionally, users are encouraged to utilize PUB LOG FLIS for data on NSN management and approved sources. This structured guidance aims to streamline the SAR submission process while ensuring compliance with federal procurement protocols.
    The "Aviation Source Approval and Management Handbook" serves as a comprehensive guideline for ensuring competitive procurement of aviation critical safety items (CSIs) in compliance with federal regulations. The document outlines the approval processes for various source types, including prime contractors, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and repair facilities. It details the criteria for evaluating potential sources, which include technical capabilities, quality assurance requirements, and historical supply performance. Key chapters cover essential topics such as procurement responsibilities, risk management in source approval requests (SARs), reverse engineering protocols, and government manufacturing standards. The handbook emphasizes the importance of validation and ongoing monitoring of approved sources, incorporating rigorous assessment criteria to maintain item conformity and airworthiness. Additionally, the handbook promotes source reciprocity across military services, allowing shared approval recognition of common use items, streamlining processes to enhance efficiency.
