Foreign National Involvement Disclosure & Compliance

The contract requires comprehensive management of disclosure and compliance obligations related to foreign nationals participating in a project governed by U.S. export control regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and the Export Administration Regulations, as well as reporting mandates from the Department of Defense. This involves ensuring all foreign national access to controlled information, technology, or technical data is properly vetted, documented, and authorized in alignment with federal requirements to prevent unauthorized disclosures and maintain national security. This is a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only small businesses with fewer than 500 employees are eligible to respond, and the effort falls under NAICS code 541612 for management, scientific, and technical consulting services. The U.S. Navy, acting through the Department of Defense, is soliciting proposals with a response deadline of July 8, 2026, and the work is expected to support sensitive defense-related research or development activities requiring strict adherence to export control frameworks. Compliance must be proactive, continuous, and fully auditable, with mechanisms in place to monitor, report, and mitigate risks associated with non-U.S. person involvement throughout the project lifecycle.
