About this file

The document is a guidance document for Source Approval Requests (SARs) for national stock numbers (NSNs) issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The guidance outlines the process for submitting SARs, emphasizing that for open solicitations, requests should be submitted directly to the buyer noted on the solicitation. SARs will not be evaluated for items already designated as fully competitive (coded AMSC "G" and described by drawings and specifications).

The document details the new electronic submission process using the DoD SAFE file transmission site, eliminating the need for multiple CD mailings. It recommends reviewing the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application to check item demand before submitting a SAR. The review process can take over 180 days, and SARs may not be processed if deemed not cost-effective due to low item demand. Applicants are advised to use the PUB LOG FLIS tool to check service usage and approved sources for a specific NSN. The guidance provides contact information for DLA Aviation SAR analysts and links to additional resources for completing SAR packages.
