About this file

This document provides guidance on submitting Source Approval Requests (SARs) to the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation for federal stock numbers. SARs should be sent directly to the buyer listed in any open solicitation. Low demand items and those already designated as fully competitive are less likely to be considered. Applicants should review estimated requirements on the Supplier Requirements Visibility Application and ensure they can meet needs of all military services managing an item before submitting. The Federal Logistics Information System database can identify approving agencies. The SAR review process takes over 180 days, after which the applicant will be notified of the decision. Questions should be directed to the DLA Aviation SAR analyst. A related opportunity seeks information on potential manufacturers for ball bearing part number 3110-011891458. Responses to provide city, state or country location and points of contact for any sources able to produce this item and submit to the specified contracting officer by email. This is a sources sought notice only and does not constitute a solicitation.
