Primary Contracting POC: Michael T. Lau, Contract Specialist, michael.t.lau3.civ@army.mil Primary Technical POC: Kahraman Koseoglu, 120mm KE and 50mm Team Lead, kahraman.c.koseoglu.civ@army.mil, (520) 691-1812 The Government encourages interested parties to request a follow-up teleconference to further discuss the technical details and mission requirements. Please coordinate all teleconference requests through both listed points of contact no later than August 24, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST. *Performance Specifications or Technical Data: AT THIS TIME, NO PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS OR TECHNICAL DATA WILL BE PROVIDED. In the event that the United States Government (USG) establishes a formal requirement for the 50mm CUAS system, relevant information will be distributed to support the effort at that time. To expedite future access, the USG invites interested parties to proactively submit a completed AMSTA-AR Form 1350 and an active DD Form 2345 (Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement) now. Completing these security steps ahead of time will ensure the seamless distribution of restricted data if a formal requirement materializes. Please note: Providing these forms at this stage is strictly optional. Submissions without an accompanying AMSTA-AR Form 1350 or DD Form 2345 are fully acceptable and will not disqualify a company's response to this market survey. In the event the Government releases technical data with Limited Distribution Technical Data (only if this action materializes into a formal requirement) (i.e. anything other than Distribution A), Requests for the performance specification shall be submitted in writing using AMSTA-AR Form 1350 Technical Data Request Questionnaire (attached) along with a signed DD 2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreement form (attached). Offerors must be registered with the U.S./Canada Joint Certification Office to obtain a copy of the limited distribution data (See https://www.public.dacs.dla.mil/jcp/ext/ for instructions and information). Offerors should submit their certification via DD Form 2345 or register immediately. In order to provide the data to foreign subcontractors, offerors must apply for an export license. An offeror's delay in applying for DD 2345 certification or an export license will not be a basis to extend the closing date of any future request for proposal. If your company does not have a signed DD 2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreement Form, then before submitting your company�s JCP Certification Request or DLA Enhanced Validation Request to JCP directly, please make sure the following items have been completed: 1. Complete SAM registration and ensure that all your CAGE information is correct and active at https://sam.gov/content/home. 2. Your NIST assessment results must be documented in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) at https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/. 3. Review and complete the Introduction to Proper Handling of DoD Export- Controlled Technical Data. a. Export Control Compliance Training for all Data Custodians and Alternate Data Custodians who require access to DoD Unclassified Export Controlled Technical Data. Please review and complete Page 15 of the attached Introduction to Proper Handling of DoD Export-Controlled Technical Data Training Course. Once completed, print Page 15, �Certification Statement of Export Control Compliance,� and attach the certificate to your JCP Application. 4. Provide all information required for "What do you do" (Block 4, Business Activities, of the DD2345 certificate). See the help symbol "?" for instructions. Keep your statements brief as space is limited. If all required information is not provided, your incomplete application will be returned in the JCP Portal. If you have any questions or concerns related to your DD2345 submission, please do not hesitate to email JCP-ADMIN@DLA.MIL This is a market survey, not a pre-solicitation notice. If a formal solicitation is generated at a later date a solicitation notice will be published. All information is to be submitted at no cost or obligation to the Government.
