The Defense Industry is governed by strict trade, acquisition, and cyber security regulations and policies. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory in order to be successful with the award of business opportunities, new contracts, and successful program execution. GDLS must ensure that we can conduct business with our suppliers accordingly.

Cyber Security

Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting The U.S. Department of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 252.204-7012 “Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting” requires contractors and subcontractors to provide adequate security on all covered contractor information systems in accordance with security requirements in the National Institute of Standards Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-171, “Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Non-federal Information Systems and Organizations”.

Suppliers that conduct business with GDLS may require to process, store or transmit Covered Defense Information (CDI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Therefore GDLS collects information regarding implementation of cyber security as it relates to DFARS 252.204-7012. The requirement is applicable to activities supporting U.S. Government contracts. The information is being collected to support current and/or future contract requirements.

As of November 30, 2020, the US Department of Defense (DoD) Contracting Officers must include the new DFARS 252.204-7019 “Notice of NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Requirements” and DFARS 252.204-7020 “NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Requirements” clauses in all solicitations and contracts, with certain exceptions (including solicitations or contracts solely for the acquisition of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) items). Pursuant to DFARS 252.204-7020, prime contractors such as GDLS may not award a subcontract or purchase order that contains NIST SP 800-171 security requirements (in accordance with DFARS 252.204-7012), unless the supplier has:

a. Completed at least a Basic Assessment in accordance with NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Methodology within the last three (3) years for all Covered Contractor Information systems; and

b. Submitted the Basic Assessment with its summary level scores and other information required by paragraph (d) of DFARS 252.204-7020, directly into the US Government’s Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS).

Trade Compliance

It is the policy of GDLS to conduct its business in compliance with all applicable export/import laws and regulations, referred to as ‘trade controls’. Further, it is the policy of GDLS to only conduct business with Suppliers who are registered with their government to participate in activities related to the defence industry; have proven not to require registration (i.e. commercial material, technology and/or services); are exempt from registration by their government but authorized to participate in defence activities (i.e. government agencies); or, are not able to register as their government does not have a registration program (export licenses may still be required for the export of defence articles).

As such, your company is required to comply with the laws and regulations as set forth by your country’s government agencies responsible for export/import authorization and compliance, and to advise GDLS of any and all restrictions that may be imposed upon GDLS. Regulations associated with trade controls are quite complex, and you may wish to seek the advice of an outside expert if your company does not have the necessary expertise in house.

Question Title

* 40. Please answer following questions regarding trade compliance / ITAR:

  Yes No
Has your company currently, or in the past, done business with any of the prohibited countries identified by the U.S. Directorate of Defense Trade Control (DDTC) under International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) 126.1? https://www.pmddtc.state.gov/embargoed_countries/index.html
Do you have safeguards that can restrict and protect, both physically and electronically, access to technical data provided by GDLS from unauthorized persons.
Has you company been or is currently a party/signatory to a U.S. Department of State Technical Assistance Agreement (TAA)?
Government Property / Contractor Furnished Material and Equipment 

The Government Property clause requires the Contractor to establish a system of internal controls (i.e. property management system) to manage (control, use, preserve, protect, repair, and maintain) Government property in its possession. The Contractor’s written property management system procedures must address the outcomes identified in FAR 52.245-1(f)(1) and their associated requirements.

Question Title

* 41. Does your company have a process to manage Government Property (GP) or Contractor Furnished Material and Equipment (CFE). The process should include provisions to tag and identify material separate from other 3rd party supplied material; safeguard from loss, damage, destruction or theft; and to provide annual physical inventory reports?
