- WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF CERTIFICATION UNDER THE U.S./CANADA JOINT CERTIFICATION PROGRAM?
Certification under the JCP establishes the eligibility of a U.S. or Canadian contractor to receive technical data governed, in the
U.S., by DoD Directive 5230.25 and, in Canada, by the Technical Data Control Regulations (TDCR).
- WHY IS A CERTIFICATION REQUIRED?
A
certification is required by U.S. or Canadian contractors that wish to obtain access to unclassified technical data disclosing militarily critical technology with military or space application
that is under the control of, or in the possession of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) or the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND).
- HOW DO I GET A CERTIFICATION NUMBER?
Contractors must submit a
DD Form 2345
to the U.S./Canada Joint Certification Office, along with a copy of the
company's State/Provincial License, Incorporation Certificate, Sales Tax
Identification Form or other documentation which verifies the legitimacy of the
company.
- WHO ASSIGNS AND MAINTAINS CERTIFICATION NUMBERS?
The Defense Logistics Information Service (DLIS) in Battle Creek, MI is the only authorized source of Certification Numbers.
- IS THERE A FEE FOR CERTIFICATION?
No.
At this time, there are no associated subscription charges related to the assignment/maintenance of Certification Numbers.
- WHAT IS A DIRECTLY ARRANGED VISIT (DAV)?
The United States and Canada have agreed that the certification process can be used to facilitate visits to U.S. or Canadian military
installations that involve access to UNCLASSIFIED technical data.
The following are activities intended to be covered through the Directly Arranged Visit process: procurement activities
such as pre-solicitation conferences, discussions related to unclassified solicitations, and collection of procurement unclassified documents (RFQ's, RFP's, bid sets, etc); performance of an
unclassified contract; scientific research, in a professional capacity, in support of unclassified U.S. or Canadian defense initiatives; or, attendance at restricted meetings, conferences,
symposia, or program briefings where technical data governed by DoD Directive 5230.25 or Canadian TDCR will be presented.
