    AVN SAR Submit Instructions.pdf
    The document outlines the process for submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) for national stock numbers (NSNs) within the Department of Defense. Submissions must be directed to the buyer noted on an open solicitation; SARs for NSNs without open solicitations are now electronic-only and must be submitted via the DoD SAFE file transmission site. The process requires an email to request a submission link, including essential identifiers such as the CAGE code and NSN. The document also emphasizes that SARs may be rejected for low demand items and encourages submission after verifying item forecasting needs through the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application. The review of a SAR can take over 180 days, concluding with a formal notification to the requester. This streamlined electronic process eliminates the duplication of mailing CDs for each military service managing the item, centralizing tracking and submission to enhance efficiency in government procurement initiatives.
