C&W Manufacturing machines precision components for U.S. defense and aerospace programs under a current ITAR manufacturer registration with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls — covering USML articles — and also produces EAR-controlled components classified on the Commerce Control List. Backed by an AS9100D quality system, JCP DD-2345 certification, NIST SP 800-171 / DFARS 252.204-7012 compliant data handling, and CAGE code 97LA6. We support primes and subcontractors nationwide.
ITAR (22 CFR 120–130) covers defense articles on the United States Munitions List (USML): manufacturers of USML items are required to register with the U.S. Department of State under the Arms Export Control Act. Working with a registered shop means your export-controlled technical data goes to a supplier that is known to DDTC and operates the controls that registration obligates.
Not everything defense-adjacent is ITAR: many components fall instead under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR, 15 CFR 730–774) and its Commerce Control List — dual-use and 600-series items among them. C&W produces both, and applies controlled handling to technical data in either jurisdiction. Where DFARS 252.204-7012 flows down, covered defense information is protected per NIST SP 800-171.
Drawings and specifications for controlled items are handled under internal access controls, with transmission arranged over secure channels — never through open web uploads.
Our JCP DD-2345 certification qualifies C&W to receive militarily critical technical data from the Department of Defense for bidding and production.
Parts are produced under an AS9100D / ISO 9001:2015 quality system with AS9102 first article inspection — the documentation defense programs expect.
To protect your program, our public website does not accept ITAR-controlled uploads. The process is simple:
Yes. C&W Manufacturing holds a current manufacturer registration with the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). A copy of our registration letter is available on our certifications page.
Registration is the formal step: manufacturers of defense articles must register with DDTC under the Arms Export Control Act. Compliance is the ongoing practice — controlling who can access technical data, how it is stored and transmitted, and keeping the required records. C&W is registered with DDTC and operates internal controls for export-controlled data, alongside our JCP DD-2345 certification for access to militarily critical technical information.
Do not upload export-controlled technical data through the website. Contact us by phone or email first and we will provide secure transmission instructions — a U.S.-hosted, ITAR and NIST SP 800-171 compliant channel using FIPS 140-3 validated encryption, with access limited to authorized U.S. persons.
Yes. Beyond USML articles under ITAR, C&W produces components controlled under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and classified on the Commerce Control List, including dual-use and 600-series items, with the same controlled-handling practices for technical data.
Yes — CAGE code 97LA6, and we are certified under the U.S./Canada Joint Certification Program (DD Form 2345), which qualifies us to receive militarily critical technical data for bidding and production.
Yes. Covered defense information is handled in accordance with NIST SP 800-171 as required by the DFARS 252.204-7012 clause, and we track the CMMC program as its requirements phase into DoD contracts and JCP-related data access.
An AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system, registered by an ANAB-accredited certification body, including AS9102 first article inspection for aerospace and defense programs.
