DD2345 Requirements and Instructions

1. Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): A certified DD2345 is required to access many Space Fence documents on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website.

a) First, obtain a certified DD2345 directly from the Joint Certification Program, following the directions in paragraph 5 below.

b) Second, submit your completed and certified DD2345 to the Contracting Office, following the directions in paragraphs 6 and 7 below.

c) Finally, request access to the documents following the directions in paragraph 8 below.

2. Why do I need to submit at DD2345?

A DD2345 is required by all contractors in order to access unclassified technical data disclosing militarily critical technology, including those documents marked “For Official Use Only (FOUO).” Many of the documents associated with the Space Fence Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contract acquisition fall into this category; therefore, a DD2345 is required to access them.

3. Can I submit an existing certification?

Yes, so long as it is still current.

4. How do I update or correct the information in my existing certification?

Please complete a revised DD Form 2345 and obtain re-certification, providing a copy to our office.

5. How do I obtain a certified DD2345?

Go to https://www.dla.mil/HQ/InformationOperations/Offers/Products/LogisticsApplications/JCP/, follow the instructions for filling out the form, and email it to JCP-Admin@dla.mil. Alternatively, the completed form may be mailed to the address provided on the website. See Attachment 2 - DD2345 Instructions (page 3), and Attachment 3 - FAQs (page 12) for more information.

6. Where do I send my completed and certified DD Form 2345 once I get it back from DLA?

Send your completed and certified form to:

21 CONS/PKD

7. Can I email my completed and certified DD Form 2345 to the 21 CONS office?

Yes, email copies are acceptable and preferred.

8. How can I then access the restricted documents on FBO?

Once 21 CONS/PKD receives your approved and signed certified DD2345, which will include your certification number and expiration date, make an “Explicit Access Request” on FBO (www.fbo.gov) under solicitation number FA2517-19-R-A004. Your explicit access request will be approved and you will be able to access the restricted documents.

Attachment 1 – FOUO Guidance

The following information is provided as helpful guidance in handling documentation marked with releasability restrictions pertaining to the Space Fence Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contract acquisition. All authorized users are expected to abide by proper For Official Use Only (FOUO) handling procedures.

Application of FOUO Designation

For Official Use Only (FOUO) is not a classification. It is a handling instruction which prohibits the automatic release of information to the public. These markings are used by the Department of Defense to identify information that, although unclassified, may not be appropriate for public release. FOUO is used on unclassified information that is exempt from public release because the information falls under one of the nine exemptions of the Freedom of Information Act.

Safeguarding FOUO:

• FOUO information must be controlled in a manner sufficient to ensure that unauthorized persons do not gain access. During working hours, coversheets should be used and when not in use the document should be put away out of sight.

• After working hours, FOUO documents may be stored in unlocked containers, desks or cabinets if government or government contract building security is provided. If Government or Government contract building security is not provided, it must be stored in a locked desk, file cabinet, bookcase, locked room, or similar place.

• FOUO documents and material may be transmitted via first class mail, or fourth class mail in the case of bulk shipment.

• FAX or e-mail transmissions of FOUO documents should be by encrypted communication systems whenever practical.

• FOUO documents may be put on an unclassified internet site only if access to the site is limited to a specific target audience and the information is encrypted.

Disposal:

• FOUO documents may be destroyed by shredding or tearing into pieces so that the information contained therein is no longer discernible.

Unauthorized Disclosure:

• The unauthorized disclosure of FOUO material is not an unauthorized disclosure of classified information. However, Air Force personnel and DoD contractors have a duty to take reasonable actions to protect FOUO material under their control and from inadvertent disclosure. Appropriate administrative actions should be taken to fix responsibility for such disclosure as such information is protected by the Privacy Act which could result in civil or criminal sanctions against the Air Force.

For further information regarding portion markings or any other aspect of FOUO policy or application, please contact: Contracting Officer, Austin Frindt, at austin.frindt@us.af.mil.

Collapse All Expand All What is the Joint Certification Program (JCP)?

The Joint Certification Program (JCP) certifies Canadian and United States (U.S.) contractors for access to unclassified military technical data belonging to Canada's Department of National Defence (DND) and to the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). This Program helps to protect controlled Unclassified Militarily Critical Technical Data (MCTD) and technology from common adversaries, but allows it to flow to certified Canadian and U.S. companies that have a legitimate need-to-know for business purposes. This program is effective in protecting the competitive edge of North American companies by ensuring that only eligible companies are provided with this data.

What is Unclassified Military Critical Technical Data (MCTD)?

Unclassified Militarily Critical Technical Data (MCTD) is data that can be used to produce military or space equipment and related technology. It also includes such items as blueprints, drawings, computer software and operating instructions and technical information.

What is the purpose of this certification?

Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification establishes the eligibility of a United States (U.S.) or Canadian contractor to receive technical data governed, in the U.S., by Department of Defense (DOD) Directive 5230.25 and, in Canada, by the Technical Data Control Regulations (TDCR).

Why is this certification required?

Certification is required for United States (U.S.) or Canadian contractors who wish to obtain access to unclassified technical data disclosing militarily critical technology with military or space application that is under the control of, or in the possession of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) or the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND).

Who assigns and maintains certification numbers?

The United States (U.S.)/Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) located at the Logistics Information Services in Battle Creek, MI is the only authorized source of certification numbers.

Is there a fee for certification?

No, at this time, there are no associated fees related to the assignment/maintenance of certification numbers.
