Potential offerors are advised that the solicitation attachments 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, as amended, Title 50, U.S.C., App. 2401 et seq. Violations of these export laws are subject to severe criminal penalties. Disseminate in accordance with provisions of DoD Directive 5230.25.  If a solicitation is posted, these documents will be supplied on a CD/DVD which will be mailed separately upon request.  Only one copy of the controlled unclassified information CD/DVD will be distributed per interested company.  Potential offerors interested in receiving the export controlled attachments will be required to submit a copy of a valid DD Form 2345 (Military Critical Technical Data Agreement), signed by the US/Canada Joint Certification Office.  Instruction for obtaining a DD Form 2345 can be found at:

If your firm is interested in this planned procurement, it is advised that prior to the posting of the solicitation you and your potential subcontractors obtain the appropriate export control authority or dissemination authorization to handle technical data whose export is restricted by the Arms Export Control Act.  NAVSEA has no control over the timing, or granting of the DD Form 2345.  Additional instructions for requesting the attachments will be posted if a solicitation is posted.

Please note that the Government will not reimburse participants for any expenses associated with their travel or participation in this event.

If you do not have a CAC, you are required to notify the meeting POC (whom will need to sponsor you on the base) and complete SECNAV 5512-1 (see attached form). Completed SECNAV 5512-1 must be submitted to the meeting POC by 07/08/16 and bring it with you to the Pass and ID Office (located in BLDG 1183 adjacent to the Sunkist Gate).  This will allow you to obtain a temporary pass on the first day of the meeting to enter the base.
