About this file
This document provides guidance on submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation for national stock numbers (NSNs). For open solicitations, suppliers should submit SARs directly to the buyer noted on the solicitation. SARs will not be evaluated for items already designated as fully competitive (AMSC "G" coded items described by drawings and specifications). For NSNs without open solicitations, suppliers must submit SARs electronically through the DoD SAFE file transmission site at https://safe.apps.mil/ rather than by mail, streamlining the process and eliminating the need for multiple CDs.
The submission process requires sending an email to dlaavnsmallbus@dla.mil with the subject line "request a SAR drop off," after which suppliers receive a "request for drop off" containing a link to upload their file. Suppliers should include the CAGE code, NSN, and email address for receiving results. The Source Approval Handbook provides detailed guidance on SAR package completion. Before submitting, suppliers should review the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application (https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/ra/srva/default.aspx) to assess forecasting requirements and cost-effectiveness, as SARs may not be processed if demand is insufficient. Using the PUB LOG FLIS tool, suppliers can determine how many military services manage an item and identify existing approved sources. DLA Aviation requires over 180 days to review SARs from receipt date, and suppliers receive formal notification of results upon decision completion. Questions should be directed to the DLA Aviation SAR analyst at dlaavnsmallbus@dla.mil.
