Amendment 1 (19 October 2026; 1600 EST) - The purpose of this amendment is to establish the mandatory security and verification protocols for vendors requesting access to the CUI and Export-Controlled attachments associated with this Call for Solutions. Certain attachments referenced in this Call for Solutions are marked as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) with Limited Dissemination Controls and/or Export Controls.
Therefore, only vendors who are current DoW contract holders are eligible to receive Controlled information. The dissemination of Export-Controlled information is restricted by the Arms Export Control Act or the Export Administration Act of 1979. Export-controlled items shall not be disseminated outside the U.S. Government or to U.S. Government contractors without first verifying the recipient’s eligibility and authority to receive export-controlled information by verifying they have a current, valid DD Form 2345.
Interested vendors must provide their CAGE Code, DoD contract number, a copy of the DD2345, and their Joint Certification Program (JCP) number to Contracting Officer Jennifer Anderson ([email protected]), Contract Specialist Aaliyah Coles ([email protected]) and Contract Specialist Douglas Thier ([email protected]). Once the contract number, CAGE Code, and JCP data has been verified the Controlled documents will be sent via DoD SAFE to interested parties.
