 RQ032: EXPORT CONTROL OF TECHNICAL DATA

This item has technical data, some or all of which is subject to export-control of either the International Traffic in Arms (ITAR) regulations or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), and cannot be exported without prior authorization from either the Department of State or the Department of Commerce. Export includes disclosure of technical data to foreign persons and nationals whether located in the United States or abroad. This requirement applies equally to foreign national employees and U.S. companies and their foreign subsidiaries. DFARS 252.225-7048 is applicable to this data.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) limits distribution of export-controlled technical data to DLA contractors that have an approved US / Canada Joint Certification Program (EJCP) certification, have completed the Introduction to Proper Handling of DOD Export-Controlled Technical Data Training, and the DLA Export-Controlled Technical Data Questionnaire (both are available at the web address, below), and have been approved by the DLA controlling authority to access the export-controlled data. Instructions for obtaining access to the export-controlled data can be found at https://www.dla.mil/HQ/LogisticsOperations/EnhancedValidation/

To be eligible for award, offerors and any sources of supply proposed for use are required to have an approved EJCP certification and have been approved by the DLA controlling authority to access export-controlled data managed by DLA. DLA will not delay award in order for an offeror or its supplier to apply for and receive approval by the DLA controlling authority to access the export-controlled data.

One or more of the items under this acquisition may be subject to an Agreement on Government Procurement approved and implemented in the United States by the Trade Agreements Act of 1979. All offers shall be in the English language and in U.S. dollars. All interested suppliers may submit an offer.
