    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 (DoD). It emphasizes that SARs should be submitted electronically through the DoD SAFE file transmission site rather than via CDs. Submissions must be directed to the appropriate buyer for open solicitations, whereas for NSNs without open solicitations, the electronic process is mandatory. The document specifies that SARs for items already deemed fully competitive will not be evaluated and highlights that cost-effectiveness assessments may result in non-processing of SARs due to low demand. Key resources such as the Source Approval Handbook and the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application are recommended for users prior to submission. The review period for SARs can exceed 180 days, and confirmation letters will notify applicants of the outcomes. Email communication is encouraged for inquiries. Overall, this document streamlines the submission process for SARs within the context of government procurement, aiming to enhance efficiency and clarity in compliance with federal regulations and guidelines.
    SAR Handbook.pdf
    The Aviation Source Approval and Management Handbook, issued on March 16, 2011, outlines policies and procedures for the approval and management of sources supplying aviation critical safety items (CSIs) in compliance with federal legislation and regulations. The document details various types of approved sources, such as prime contractors, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and licensed repair facilities, and emphasizes the importance of proper source validation to ensure the safety and reliability of aviation components. The handbook delineates responsibilities for procuring activities, including adherence to source approval requirements, and outlines the process for submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs), which provide necessary technical data to evaluate prospective suppliers. Key elements of the SAR process include risk management, technical review, and quality assurance to ascertain suppliers’ capabilities to produce conforming items. Additionally, the handbook introduces concepts like source reciprocity, which encourages the recognition of approved sources across different military services, and addresses considerations for using surplus materials and reverse engineering for parts. This comprehensive framework facilitates the procurement of safe, effective aviation components while enhancing competition and efficiency across the defense acquisition landscape.
