Export-Controlled Technical Data Management

This contract pertains to the management and protection of export-controlled technical data in strict compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and the Export Administration Regulations, alongside secure handling protocols to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information. The work involves safeguarding technical data that is subject to U.S. government export controls, requiring implementation of rigorous security measures, personnel training, and procedural controls to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or transfer. The contract is structured as a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only small business concerns are eligible to respond, as designated by the Small Business Administration and governed by FAR 19.5. The North American Industry Classification System code 541611 indicates the scope aligns with administrative management and general management consulting services, suggesting the need for expert advisory and compliance oversight rather than direct manufacturing or engineering. The contract is managed by the Department of Defense through the DDSP NEW CUMBERLAND FACILITY, with performance required at the facility located in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with a ZIP code of 17070-5002. The solicitation was posted on August 9, 2026, and responses are due by August 20, 2026, indicating a relatively short turnaround window for qualified small businesses to prepare and submit proposals. Contractors must demonstrate proven capability in handling sensitive technical data under ITAR and EAR frameworks, with documented compliance programs, secure facilities, and trained personnel who understand the legal and operational demands of protecting defense-related technology. Failure to adhere to these requirements may result in severe penalties, including loss of clearance, financial liability, and potential criminal charges, making compliance as critical as the technical execution of the work.
