To participate, a foreign firm may be required to team with a U.S. firm that possesses a U.S. facility clearance with technologies/data safeguarding capabilities, inclusive of the authority to receive critical technology and/or data required to execute this program. Any resultant contractor teaming or license agreements between U.S. firms and foreign firms, to include employment of foreign nationals by U.S. firms, shall be in accordance with current U.S. export laws, security requirements, and National Disclosure Policy and shall require the prior approval of the contracting officer and foreign disclosure officer.

Data may not be exported without an approval, authorization, or license under E.O. 12470 or the Arms Export Control Act. As such, the documents contain data whose export/transfer/disclosure is restricted by U.S. law and dissemination to non-U.S. persons, whether in the United States or abroad, and requires an export license or other authorization. Disclosure of the Draft documents requires the verification of a current license for the oral, visual or documentary disclosure of technical data by U.S. persons to foreign persons as defined under by the U.S. Department of State website. http://pmdtc.org/licenses.htm. As such the DRAFT Statement of Objectives, any associated Appendices, the DRAFT Performance Specification, and any associated Appendices will NOT be posted and must be obtained through this office.

Once the items have been made available for release, and upon confirmation of your request, the data will be provided. Prior to release of any document under this announcement, any U.S. contractor must acknowledge it's 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 or outside the United States) and agree that it will not disseminate any export-controlled technical data subject to this requirement in a manner that would violate applicable export control laws and regulations. It is the responsibility of the contractor to provide this certification and/or proof of a current approval, authorization, or license under E.O. 12470 or the Arms Export Control Act. Upon verification of your status and acknowledgement, the requested documents will be provided.
