Understanding the SARs Process
Understanding the SARs Process

Starts: 9:00 am

Ends: April 22, 2021 - 12:00 pm

Location: Macomb Regional PTAC - Webinar

Description:
This session is designed to advise manufacturers on the procedures and documentation required to complete a Source Approval Request (SAR)** Successfully completing the SAR process means that one is an approved source to reverse engineer, manufacture, repair, overhaul, or modify a DLA part on a non-competitive basis. This course will teach attendees how to complete that process. In addition, information will be provided advising you of the procedures for obtaining source prequalification* for items requiring pre-contract award qualification. The SAR process for new sources is not limited to small business companies. Both small and other than small businesses are afforded equal consideration for approval.

* There are four basic categories of source approval requests, excluding those requiring source pre-award qualifications, for sole source spare parts, systems and repair, overhaul & modification of items/systems. Submission of the requested information does not guarantee approval. Additional information, documentation, sample items, etc. may be required to complete evaluation of your request. The system engineer is the approval authority for all source approval requests.

Category 1 - (Same Item): An item that your company previously provided to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to the Department of Defense (DoD)
Category 2 - (Similar Item): An item similar to an item that your company has previously provided to the OEM or DoD.
Category 3 - (New Item): An item not previously provided to the OEM or DoD, or similar to an item previously provided to the OEM or DoD.
Category 4 – Repair, Overhaul, or Modification of Items/Systems: to include aircraft, avionics, electronic warfare, vehicle, and missile components and systems. In order to evaluate your capabilities, applicants are encouraged to provide information relative to each system or component.

**SOURCE PRE-QUALIFICATION: Source Pre-Qualification, pursuant to FAR Part 9, is a formal pre-contract award qualification that contractors must meet. During this process the engineer develops a justification and specific qualification criterion, which may range from submission of capability documentation to submission of fully tested sample items.

NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE AN ACTIVE JCP CERTIFICATION, DIBBS AND CFOLDER ACCOUNT. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO ENTER YOUR JCP CERTIFICATION EXPIRATION DATE WHEN REGISTERING.
