These items are Critical Safety Items subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). In order to be eligible to receive the technical data, firms are required to have a JCP certification and sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Any prospective offeror shall provide a completed DD Form 2345 (MAY 2019) with JCP certification number in block 7b and the Non-Disclosure Agreement in order to receive a copy of the technical data, associated patterns, and any other necessary documentation for the manufacture of the JPACE & LJPACE.

This item contains technical data whose export is restricted by the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22, U.S.C., Sec 2751, et seq) or the Export Administration Act of 1979 (Title 50, U.S.C. APP2401 et seq) as amended. Violations of these export laws are subject to severe criminal penalties. Dissemination is in accordance with provisions of DoD Directive 5230.24 and 5230.25. Distribution of technical data is authorized to the Department of Defense and U.S. DoD contractors only. Critical determination was made 12 February 2009.

The dissemination of the technical data for the JPACE & LJPACE falls under the Joint Certification Program (JCP). The JCP was established in 1985 to allow United States (U.S.)/Canadian contractors to apply for access to Department of Defense/Department of National Defence (DOD/DND) unclassified export controlled technical data/critical technology on an equally favorable basis in accordance with DODI 5320.25 “Withholding of Unclassified Technical Data and Technology from Public Disclosure”, and Canadian Technical Data Control Regulations.

NOTES:

1. Contractors residing outside of the US and Canada will need to contact your state department on policies and procedures on becoming certified.

2. Certification is a lengthy process!! If interested, it is highly recommended to initiate this process immediately.

What this means for you: Distribution of the JPACE & LJPACE technical data is only authorized after the interested offeror completes a Non-Disclosure Agreement and all requirements for obtaining JCP certification – a DD Form 2345 (MAY 2019) Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement (with certification). The DD Form 2345, detailed instructions on how to fill out the form, and additional requirements for submission are attached to this Pre-Solicitation Notice.
