Defense Logistics Information Services. “Source Approval Requests. If there is an open solicitation for a national
stock number for which you
want to submit a SAR, please submit it directly to the buyer noted on the solicitation. (NOTE: This applies to open
solicitations only). SAR’s will not be evaluated for items that are already designated as fully competitive such as
those items coded AMSC “G” and described by drawings and specifications. If you are submitting a SAR for a NSN
with no open solicitation we are no
longer accepting CDs by mail. SARs must be submitted using the DoD SAFE file transmission site,
https://safe.apps.mil/. The new process streamlines processing with electronic transmission and eliminates the
need for multiple mailings of CDs. Process: To submit your SAR please send an email to: dlaavnsmallbus@dla.mil,
subject "request a SAR drop off". After we receive your email request a "request for drop off" will be returned, where
you can download your file. Include CAGE code, the NSN and the email address where you want to receive
the link. For guidance on completing a SAR package please review the Source Approval Handbook. SARs may not be
processed if it is determined that the SAR is not cost effective due to low item demand. Please review the DLA
Supplier Requirements Visibility Application :https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/ra/srva/default.aspx for estimated
forecasting requirements before submitting a SAR. Electronic transmission eliminates the need for CDs for each of
the services that manage the item (i.e. if the item is managed by the Navy and Air Force.) If you would like to see
how many services use the NSN you can download PUB LOG FLIS to see
how many services use the item and who approved sources are. You can download the PUB LOG FLIS using the
instructions at: FLISSearchDownloadInstructions.pdf The PUB LOG FLIS executable file connects to a secured server
that stores and returns data with each query. This data is updated weekly. Once in the database, put in the NSN, hit
Search. Under the “Management” tab, you will see the MOE code for the number of ESAs involved. The review
process can take over 180 days from the date the SAR is received by DLA Aviation. Once a decision is made, you will
receive a formal notification letter advising you of the results.
If you have any questions, please email the DLA Aviation SAR analyst at ashley.sacolick@dla.mil.
