If your company desires to be reviewed and qualified as an "Approved Source" for this item, submit an application package through the Source Approval Request (SAR) Program as outlined in the attached JACG SAM HB document. A SAR package contains all of the technical data needed to demonstrate that the prospective contractor can competently manufacture the product to the same level of quality, or better, than the required item. The onus is on the contractor to document and demonstrate their product is equal to, or better, than the currently approved item, which DLA Aviation is procuring.
If you are submitting a SAR for a LSN/NSN with no open solicitation, 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.
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.
