Contractors will be responsible for engineering services, manufacturing, supply chain management, and all associated costs. This SSS is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or a promise to award a contract. The acquisition involves export-controlled technical data, requiring active United States/Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification for access.
