Export-Controlled Technical Data Management (ITAR Compliance)

The contract governs the secure handling and management of ITAR-controlled technical data associated with the design and manufacturing of defense components, ensuring strict adherence to U.S. export control regulations to prevent unauthorized access or dissemination. All activities must comply with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, requiring robust physical and digital security protocols, personnel training, and access controls to safeguard sensitive information throughout the lifecycle of the project. The work is to be performed at a designated location in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with a zip code of 17070-5002, and is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Defense’s Maritime Supply Chain organization. The North American Industry Classification System code 541618 indicates this involves other scientific and technical consulting services, specifically tailored to defense-related compliance and engineering support. Proposals must be submitted by August 10, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 30, 2026, providing a limited window for qualified entities to respond. The contract is not set aside for any specific small business category and does not specify a point of contact, requiring potential bidders to engage directly through the provided DIBBS portal link. Compliance with ITAR is not optional—it is foundational—and failure to meet its requirements will result in immediate disqualification and potential legal consequences. All participants must demonstrate proven experience in managing classified defense data and maintaining audit-ready documentation for regulatory scrutiny.
