About this file

This document provides guidance on submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) to the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for federal supply classifications. SARs should be sent directly to the buyer listed on any open solicitation. If no solicitation exists, requests should be made using the Source Approval Handbook. SARs for items with low demand may not be processed if deemed not cost-effective. Applicants should check estimated requirements using the Supplier Requirements Visibility Application and obtain Federal Logistics Information System data showing item management and approved sources across military services. The review process for SARs takes over 180 days.

The related opportunity describes a sources sought notice for flow rate indicating meters with National Stock Numbers 6680014951260. Respondents are requested to provide manufacturing sources, locations, and points of contact able to supply the items. Information should be submitted by July 15, 2022 to Kee-Sha D. Epps-Eskridge at Kee-Sha.Eskridge@dla.mil or 804-279-6235. This is an informational request only and does not constitute a solicitation.
