Any industrial organization who supplies items or services (directly or indirectly) to the U.S. Government or to the Canadian Department of Defence may request participation in GIDEP.
Any government activity which acquires supplies, items, services, facilities or equipment for the government may automatically be authorized as to become a GIDEP participant if their activity is under any of the participating government departments and agencies.
The Implementing Policy Guidance document references individual documents that pertain to GIDEP, provides sample wording for contract clause and data item descriptions, and includes participation guidelines.
The GIDEP Operations Manual provides guidance for participation in the program, reporting requirements, and procedures for the exchange of reports, data and information. The manual is shown as a best management practice in the DoD Deskbook.
The only requirement to remain an active participant is that a Utilization Report must be submitted by each GIDEP Representative from each participating organization. These reports are required at least once annually.
GIDEP participants are not subject to any fees or assessments. However, each participating organization must establish an internal program to include at least one appointed GIDEP Representative and one or more users authorized to access the database. Each of the participating organization's Representatives and users must have computer equipment, internet access, a web browser (version 4+), Adobe Acrobat Reader software, and printers suitable for retrieving, downloading and printing reports.
An organization which meets the criteria for participation may submit an Application (21K PDF format). Additional information may also be obtained by contacting the GIDEP Help Desk or look at other FAQ.
