    AVN SAR Submit Instructions.pdf
    The document outlines the process for submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) specifically related to national stock numbers (NSNs) within the Department of Defense (DoD). It specifies that SARs must be submitted electronically via the DoD SAFE file transmission site, eliminating the use of CDs for submissions. Interested parties should email for a drop-off request, detailing their CAGE code, NSN, and desired email return. It emphasizes that SARs for items already deemed fully competitive will not be reevaluated, and requests may be rejected if deemed not cost-effective due to low demand for the item. The review process can exceed 180 days, culminating in formal notification of the outcome. For further guidance, it directs users to the Source Approval Handbook and the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application for demand forecasting. This document serves as a key guide for individuals or companies seeking approval to provide specific defense-related items, streamlining communication and submission processes to enhance operational efficiency in defense procurement.
    SAR Handbook.pdf
    The "Aviation Source Approval and Management Handbook" establishes procedures for managing source approvals for aviation Critical Safety Items (CSIs). It emphasizes compliance with federal regulations and the importance of ensuring all sources are capable of producing quality items consistently. Key sections include definitions of approved sources, the Source Approval Request (SAR) process, and responsibilities for procurement activities. A SAR must contain technical data demonstrating a supplier’s ability to manufacture or repair items to the specified standards. The handbook highlights various approval sources, including original equipment manufacturers and licensed distributors, while allowing for local purchases only under special circumstances. Additionally, it discusses the management of historical sources and surplus materials, stressing their traceability and compliance with quality requirements. The guidelines aim to facilitate efficiency across military services, ensuring that all sources meet strict technical and quality standards, thus supporting the overall safety and operational readiness of aviation systems. Ultimately, the handbook serves as a vital resource for government agencies involved in the procurement of aviation parts, fostering unified standards and effective management of aviation sourcing.
