A new electronic process mandates using the DoD SAFE file transmission site, eliminating the need for mailed CDs. Submit an email request to DLA for a link to upload files, including necessary details like the CAGE code and NSN. SARs may be rejected if deemed not cost-effective due to low item demand. The estimated processing time for SARs can exceed 180 days, and applicants will receive formal notification of the results. The document emphasizes the importance of assessing service demand using the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application and accessing additional information through PUB LOG FLIS. Overall, it provides a structured approach to ensuring proper submission of SARs in compliance with government regulations and processes, supporting the acquisition of required items efficiently.
