About this file
This document is a detailed guide for Source Approval Requests (SARs) from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The document outlines the process for submitting SARs for national stock numbers (NSNs), specifying that for open solicitations, SARs should be submitted directly to the noted buyer, and will not be evaluated for items already designated as fully competitive. The new submission process requires electronic transmission through the DoD SAFE file transmission site, eliminating the previous CD-by-mail method.
Key procedural details include a review process that can take over 180 days, with a formal notification letter sent upon decision. Potential submitters are advised to check the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application to assess item demand and cost-effectiveness before submission. The document provides guidance on SAR package preparation, recommending review of the Source Approval Handbook and using the PUB LOG FLIS tool to understand service usage and approved sources for a specific NSN. Submitters can contact DLA Aviation SAR analysts at dlaavnsmallbus@dla.mil for questions about the process.
