Subpart 1825.11—Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clause
(2) The exemption at 22 CFR 125.4(b)(3) of the ITAR provides that a contractor may export technical data without a license if the contract between the agency and the exporter provides for the export of the data.

The contracting officer must obtain the approval of the Center Export Administrator before granting the contractor the authority to use this exemption.
