Question 1: How do I access the files/documents for the Project?

Answer 1: Reference Section 4 of the FBO Vendor Guide. This guide is available for download in PDF format via the Federal Business Opportunities / FBO Home Page. Additionally, to view and/or download Export Controlled Materials, a company must be certified (via an approved DD Form 2345) by the Joint Certification Program (JCP) administered by the DLA Logistic Information Service (DLIS). This certification establishes that a company is a U.S. or Canadian contractor eligible to receive unclassified technical data that is under the control of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) or the Canadian Department of National Defense (DND). Questions about this program or DD Form 2345 should be addressed to U.S./Canada Joint Certification Office, DLA Logistics Information Services (DLIS), Federal Center, 74 Washington Avenue North, Battle Creek, MI 49017-3084. The Joint Certification Office may be contacted by telephone at: 1-(800) 352-3572; or email: jcp-admin@.dla.mil.

Interested offerors must also be registered in System for Award Management (SAM). To register go to: https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM

Question 2: I am trying to access the [export controlled] packages and have a number as assigned on DD Form 2345 but cannot get the packages to open. Our DD 2345 Number is ####### expiration ##/##/2015.

Answer 2. The U.S./Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) office reported to this office that once a company is certified with the JCP office (normally 7 to 12 business days), the company should contact FBO to have them add their JCP number to their FBO account. The FBO help desk (Federal Service Desk) reported to this office that companies need to make sure that they are registered and login as a Vendor to FBO. When the Vendor click's to open an export controlled package/document, they should be asked for their MPIN. After entering the MPIN, the export controlled package/document should be viewable/downloadable by Vendors that have gone through the JCP process. If a Vendor still has problems, the Vendor should check to make sure that their SAM registration and MPIN are valid and up-to-date. If problems still persist, the Vendor may call the FBO help desk at 866-606-8220, selection option 2 for FBO issues, and ask for troubleshooting assistance.

Question 7: In accordance with DLA – “If you are the custodian on the DD2345 form, you are responsible to whom you allow to access our folders. Basically, you can share the information with your workers and subcontractors who are directly working for you. However, if they share them or anyone else in company shares them outside of your company, you and your company are liable to debarment and fines. You will want to impress upon them that they are not to be shared outside of your company.

They could also be fined as an employee….” This response severely impacts a Contractor's ability to distribute the information to the https://public.logisticsinformationservice.dla.mil/jcp http://www.fbo.gov/ subcontracting community in order to obtain pricing for the project.
