Modernize Government Source Approval Request

The US military requires a resilient and expanded supply chain to meet 2026 National Defense Strategy mandates for supercharging the industrial base. However, the current Source Approval Request (SAR) process remains a bottleneck due to nonuniform submittal standards across the Services, historically low first-pass approval rates for new vendors and excessive administrative lead times for government reviewers.
