     This item has technical data some or all of which is subject to
     export-control of either the International Traffic in Arms regulations
     (ITAR) 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-control
     technical data to DLA contractors that have an approved US/Canada Joint
     Certification Program (JCP) 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 given 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/Logistics-Operations/Enhanced-Validation/

     To be eligible for award, offerors and any sources of supply proposed
     for use are required to have an approved JCP 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.
