About this file
This document provides guidance on submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) to the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for federal supply items. SARs are used to request approval to supply national stock numbered items to the government. The guidance specifies that SARs should be sent directly to the buyer listed on any open solicitation. It also notes that SARs will not be considered for fully competitive items and may not be processed if the item demand is too low. Suppliers are advised to review estimated requirements on the Supplier Requirements Visibility Application before submitting a SAR. The document directs suppliers to research which military services use and approve sources for items by accessing the PUB LOG FLIS database. It indicates the SAR review process can take over 180 days, after which approval or denial will be formally notified. The related opportunity provides information on an open national stock numbered bearing, including approved suppliers, to gather additional potential suppliers for the government to consider for future requirements. Responses to the sources sought notice will not constitute offers or result in any contractual obligation.
