Additional Information (from SAR Guidance)
A related document, "SAR_Guidance.pdf," provides critical information for potential manufacturers regarding Source Approval Requests (SARs). It outlines the process for submitting SARs to DLA Aviation, emphasizing electronic submission via DoD SAFE for NSNs without open solicitations. The guidance details required information, subject line format for email requests, and notes a review timeline of up to 180 days. It also clarifies that SARs for fully competitive items (AMSC "G") or those deemed not cost-effective due to low demand will not be evaluated. This guidance is highly relevant for any manufacturer not currently an approved source for the NSN.
