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 the authorization of either the Department of State or the Department of Commerce prior to export.  Export includes disclosure of technical data to foreign nationals whether located in the United States or abroad.  This requirement applies equally to foreign national employees or U.S. companies and their foreign subsidiaries.

DLA has enhanced its Joint Certification Program (JCP) registration and validation procedures.  Selected National Stock Numbers (NSNs) will require additional permissions to access the associated technical data.  In the event a vendor cannot access the technical data for a NSN in DLA cFolders, the vendor must submit a onetime request to jcpvalidation@dla.mil for technical data access consideration.  If a vendor has inquiries after having submitted required information to the JCP office, these inquiries are to be directed to DLAJ344DataCustodian@dla.mil.

DLA processes the vendor's technical data request on a first come, first served basis.  Failure to comply timely with required information may result in lack of consideration for DLA solicitations.  It is vitally important that vendors provide correct company official name(s) and contact information in all correspondence.  DLA will work diligently on validating vendor requests.  Vendors will be notified within 3 business days of when their requests were approved.  However, DLA cannot guarantee that it can complete all validation requests by the due date for any solicitation responses
