About this file

This document contains guidance on submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) as well as details on a related federal contract opportunity for a flight instrument subassembly. The SAR guidance instructs potential vendors on when and how to submit SARs for national stock numbers, noting that SARs will not be considered for fully competitive items and may not be processed if determined not cost effective due to low demand. It directs reviewers to check estimated requirements on the Supplier Requirements Visibility Application and managements codes for individual military services before submitting SARs. Instructions are provided for searching the Federal Logistics Information System database by national stock number to identify approved sources and military service managers. The review process is estimated to take over 180 days with formal notification of decisions.

The related federal contract opportunity is a request for information regarding the stock number provided, seeking manufacturer sources and points of contact that can produce the flight instrument subassembly. Responses to the sources sought notice are strictly voluntary and will be submitted to the individual listed. The opportunity is for information gathering only and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to award a contract.
