Solaris Wireless handles International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR) controlled electronic device deployment for U.S. Government, defence agencies and allied nations. Coverage includes DDTC-coordinated brokerage for ITAR-controlled hardware, jurisdictional review and ECCN classification for EAR-controlled dual-use devices, DSP-83 Non-Transfer and Use Certification where required, end-user screening against State Department and Commerce Department denied-parties lists, and chain-of-custody tracking from manufacture to end use. Pre-cleared inventory at five global supply nodes supports 72-hour rapid response.
ITAR (governed by the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, DDTC) governs the export and re-export of defence articles on the United States Munitions List. EAR (governed by Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security, BIS) governs dual-use items on the Commerce Control List. Most consumer-class electronic devices fall under EAR; specialist defence hardware falls under ITAR; certain configurations sit on the boundary (encryption strength is a common trigger for ECCN 5A002 classification).
An ITAR-compliant electronic device supplier must, at minimum: be registered with DDTC (or coordinate through DDTC-registered brokerage partners), maintain compliance procedures for handling controlled items, document chain of custody from manufacturer to end-use party, screen end-users against State and Commerce denied-parties lists, produce DSP-83 documentation where required, and retain export records for the regulatory minimum of five years.
Many allied-nation deployments operate under ITAR exemptions or specific export licences. Solaris has supported allied-nation programmes including pre-cleared inventory and 72-hour rapid response for ruggedised communications hardware. For deployments requiring Foreign Military Sales (FMS) coordination, Solaris works with the agency's FMS programme office and the partner nation's procurement representative.
Beyond standard handset and laptop supply, Solaris's specialist hardware programme has located 40+ specialist and end-of-life SKUs including export-controlled items for body camera manufacturers, medical device OEMs, research institutions and industrial equipment makers across Europe and Asia. The capability that earned Solaris its Google-approved vendor status in 2016 (sourcing through certified secondary-market channels with full provenance documentation) translates directly into ITAR/EAR-controlled defence procurement: when a programme requires a specific revision of a discontinued device for testing or field use, Solaris can locate it through certified channels with full provenance and the appropriate export controls.
For ITAR/EAR controlled-hardware engagements, contracting officers and procurement teams should provide: article specification (manufacturer, model, revision, quantity), destination country and end-user organisation, end-use description (programme, application), required compliance regime (ITAR, EAR, both, or unsure), target delivery window, and contract vehicle. Solaris returns a jurisdictional and licensing assessment within one business day, plus a delivery proposal.
