What it makes you produce

2 items for your checklist, slowest first.

  1. A program you have to be running

    You are either running it or you are not, and what the prime asks for is the date it started.

    • Access controls that keep controlled technical data away from foreign persons, your own foreign employees included, and a license for anything that leaves the country

      DFARS 252.225-7048(b)

  2. A state you have to be in, in a government system

    The record has to be posted before the prime can see it, and posting is not the same day as being ready.

    • Registration with the Department of State under the ITAR, which the clause names in its own words, for a shop that manufactures or exports defense articles

      DFARS 252.225-7048(b)

When it is used

All DoD contracts; no threshold.

Read closely

(b) is a single sentence — comply with the export laws, including the registration requirement — and (c) says that responsibility does not shift because of what anyone else told you. The weight sits in the regulations the clause points at rather than in its own text, which is what makes a foreign operation the sensitive fact on this row.

This is research, not legal advice. It states what the regulation says about this clause and cites the paragraph behind it. It does not rule on your order, and it does not rule on whether a prime's markings are correct.
