    AVN SAR Submit Instructions.pdf
    The document outlines the procedures for submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) to the DLA Aviation, specifically for national stock numbers (NSNs). It emphasizes that SARs can only be submitted for open solicitations, and items designated as fully competitive are not eligible. The new submission process requires electronic transmission via the DoD SAFE file transmission site instead of mailing CDs. Submit an email request to DLA for access to upload documents. Potential submitters should assess item demand using the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application to ensure cost-effectiveness. The review process may take up to 180 days, after which a formal notification will be provided. For further inquiries, individuals can contact the DLA Aviation SAR analyst via email. This streamlined approach aims to facilitate the approval of suppliers while maintaining efficiency in the procurement process.
    SAR Handbook.pdf
    The Aviation Source Approval and Management Handbook outlines the policies and procedures for the approval and management of suppliers providing critical safety items (CSIs) for military aviation. It delineates the types of sources eligible for approval, including prime contractors, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and licensed repair facilities. The document emphasizes the importance of full and open competition in procurement, robust supplier qualifications, and quality assurance measures to ensure safety and reliability. Key chapters address procuring activity responsibilities, the source approval request (SAR) process, risk management, and supplier evaluation criteria. The handbook ensures that suppliers can consistently meet technical and quality standards through a structured SAR process, including detailed assessments of each potential supplier's capabilities, historical performance, and the technical data required for manufacturing. Additionally, the handbook details the reverse engineering process, emphasizes supplier responsibilities regarding surplus materials, and outlines the conditions under which local purchases and repairs can occur. The overarching goal is to maintain airworthiness and operational safety while leveraging efficient procurement practices across military services. This framework is critical for compliance with federal regulations and supports the effective and safe supply of aviation parts.
