Since then, the requirement has changed in order for the Department of Navy to comply with current technology and capabilities, which has constituted an update to Solicitation N00019-16-R-3000. For the purposes of market research and compliance with FAR 15.206, this Request for Information (RFI) is being issued to allow interested vendors the opportunity to submit their capability statement to perform the updated effort in terms of the revised solicitation. Specifications/Statement of Work (SOW): The revised specifications/drawings are available via AMRDEC upon request to United States Government Agencies and their U.S. Government Contractors. The revised documents are comprised primarily of specifications and drawings, to include the revised Statement of Work and Prime Item Development Specifications for the Full Motion Video. To request the revised specifications/drawings, send your company name, company physical mailing address, CAGE code, and point of contact information (your name, phone number, and email address) to Ms. Marie R. Burwell at rosemarie.burwell@navy.mil or fax to her attention at (301)757-5239. Please copy Ms. Margo B. O'Rear at margo.orear@navy.mil when emailing. An email confirmation will be sent upon receipt and verification of requestor's information. This program includes information that has been designated as "Distribution D" and is only releasable to current and approved U. S. Department of Defense (DoD) contractors. In addition, the program requires a procurement effort in certain critical technologies/data that are not releasable to foreign firms. Some documents are under Federal export control for "sensitive" or "controlled" technologies regulated by the U.S. Department of State International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) protecting national security. Data may not be exported without an approval, authorization, or license under E.O. 12470 or the Arms Export Control Act. Disclosure of the control drawings 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 the U.S. Department website http://www.pmddtc.state.gov/regulations_laws/itar.html. To participate, a foreign firm may be required to team with a U.S. firm that possesses a current and valid 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. It is the contractor's responsibility to provide evidence of any such agreement and/or license to this office for review and this shall be verified prior to release of any controlled documents. Prior to release of any controlled documents under this solicitation, any U.S. contractor must acknowledge 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 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. Upon review of your written request, verification of your status and acknowledgement of the contractor's responsibility under the US Export laws and regulations, the requested documents will be provided via AMRDEC. The Contractor is responsible for the proper handling and disposal of documents.
