QUALIFIED U.S. CONTRACTORS FOR EXPORT-CONTROLLED TECHNICAL DATA (NAVAIR)
(a) By Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 5230.25 (hereinafter referred to as “the Directive”), a program was established to allow Qualified U.S. Contractors to obtain export-controlled technical data under certain conditions. A “Qualified U.S. Contractor” is a private individual or enterprise (hereinafter described as a “U.S. Contractor”) that, in accordance with procedures established by the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, certifies as a condition of obtaining export-controlled technical data subject to the Directive from the Department of Defense, that:
(1) The individual who will act as recipient of the export-controlled technical data on behalf of the U.S. contractor is a U.S. citizen, or a person admitted lawfully into the United States for permanent residence and is located in the United States;
(2) Such data are needed to bid or perform on a contract with the Department of Defense, or other U.S. Government agency, or for other legitimate business purposes in which the U.S. Contractor is engaged, or plans to engage. The purpose for which the data are needed shall be described sufficiently in such certification to permit an evaluation of whether subsequent requests for data are related properly to such business purpose.
(3) The U.S. Contractor acknowledges its responsibilities under U.S. export control laws and regulations (including the obligation, under certain circumstances to obtain an export license prior to the release of technical data within the United States) and agrees that it will not disseminate any export-controlled technical data subject to the Directive in a manner that would violate applicable export control laws and regulations.
(4) The U.S. Contractor also agrees that, unless dissemination is permitted by the Directive, it will not provide access to export-controlled technical data subject to the Directive to persons other than its employees or persons acting on its behalf, without the permission of the DoD component that provided the technical data.
(5) To the best of its knowledge and belief, the U.S. Contractor knows or no person employed by it, or acting on its behalf, who will have access to such data, who is debarred, suspended or otherwise ineligible to perform under U.S. Government contracts; or has violated U.S. export control laws or a certification previously made to the Department of Defense under the provisions of the Directive.
(6) The U.S. contractor itself is not debarred, suspended, or otherwise determined ineligible by any agency of the U.S. Government to perform on U.S. Government contracts, has not been convicted of export control law violations, and has not been disqualified under the provisions of this Directive.
(b) Private individuals or enterprises are certified as Qualified U.S. Contractors by submitting a DD Form 2345 to Commander, Defense Logistics Information Services (DLIS), Federal Center, Battle Creek, Michigan 49017-3084.
(c) Canadian contractors may be qualified in accordance with the Directive for technical data that do not require a license for export to Canada under section 125.12 of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and section 379.4(d) and 379.5(e) of the Export Administration Regulations, by submitting an equivalent certification to the DLIS.
