    AVN SAR Submit Instructions.pdf
    The document outlines the process for submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) for national stock numbers (NSNs) as part of the Department of Defense (DoD) procurement procedure. SARs must be directed to the buyer indicated in open solicitations; however, if there are no open solicitations, submissions must be made electronically via the DoD SAFE file transmission site instead of sending CDs by mail. The process aims to streamline submissions and improve efficiency. Submitting a SAR requires an email request including the CAGE code and NSN. Review times can exceed 180 days, and submissions deemed not cost-effective due to low demand may not be processed. The document also highlights the importance of checking item demand using the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application before submission. For additional information on approved sources and service management of the NSN, users are advised to access the PUB LOG FLIS database. This summary reflects the guidelines and procedures about SAR submissions in the context of government procurement practices, emphasizing efficiency and adherence to regulatory channels.

The handbook emphasizes the importance of comprehensive reviews, risk management, and technical evaluation to assure that new suppliers meet required specifications. The document is structured into chapters that cover general information about source approval, responsibilities of procuring entities, the SAR process, and specifics like reverse engineering and parts manufacturer approval (PMA). It discusses source reciprocity between military services and the necessary quality assurance measures for alternative sources. The handbook serves as a critical guideline to facilitate cost-effective, secure procurement while enhancing competition among suppliers, all while aligning with federal contracting standards and ensuring airworthiness of aviation materials. Overall, it aims to optimize sourcing strategies within the context of defense aviation logistics.
