PART 4

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. S ECURITY OF INFORMATION AND PROTECTION OF CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION, INCLUDING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION (APRIL 2017)

(a) Applicability

This clause applies to all controlled unclassified information, which may include personally identifiable information, as defined in Section B, regardless of the medium in which it is found and includes paper records.

(b) Definitions. As used in this clause:

“Breach” means the loss of control, compromise, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized acquisition, unauthorized access, or any similar situation where persons other than authorized users, and for other than authorized purpose, have access or potential access to personally identifiable information, in usable form whether physical or electronic.

“Controlled Unclassified Information” means information the Government creates or possesses, or that an entity creates or possesses for or on behalf of the Government, that a law, regulation, or Government-wide policy requires or permits an agency to handle using safeguarding or dissemination controls. However, CUI does not include classified information or information a non-executive branch entity possesses and maintains in its own systems that did not come from, or was not created or possessed by or for, an executive branch agency or an entity acting for an agency. Law, regulation, or Government-wide policy may require or permit safeguarding or dissemination controls in three ways: Requiring or permitting agencies to control or protect the information but providing no specific controls, which makes the information CUI Basic; requiring or permitting agencies to control or protect the information and providing specific controls for doing so, which makes the information CUI Specified; or requiring or permitting agencies to control the information and specifying only some of those controls, which makes the information CUI Specified, but with CUI Basic controls where the authority does not specify.

“Personally identifiable information (PII)” means any information that permits the identity of an individual to be directly or indirectly inferred, including any other information that is linked or linkable to that individual regardless of whether the individual is a citizen of the United States, legal permanent resident, or a visitor to the United States. Examples of PII include the following:

(1)Name.
(2)Date of birth.
(3)Mailing address.
(4)Telephone number.
(5)Social Security Number.
(6)Email address.
(7)Zip code.
(8)Account numbers.
(9)Certificate/license numbers.
(10)Vehicle identifiers including license plates.
(11)Uniform resource locators (URLs).
(12)Internet protocol addresses.
(13)Biometric identifiers (e.g., fingerprints).
(14)Photographic facial images.
(15)Any other unique identifying number or characteristic.
(16)Any information where it is reasonably foreseeable that the information will be linked
with other information to identify the individual.

“Sensitive personally identifiable information (sensitive PII)” means a subset of PII, which if lost, compromised or disclosed without authorization, could result in substantial harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or unfairness to an individual.

(1) Complete social security numbers, alien registration numbers (A-number) and biometric identifiers (such as fingerprint, voiceprint, or iris scan) are considered sensitive PII even if they are not coupled with additional PII.

(2) Additional examples include any grouping of information that contains an individual’s name or other unique identifier plus one or more of the following elements:

(i) Driver’s license number, passport number, or truncated social security number (such as last 4 digits);

(ii) Date of birth (month, day, and year);

(iii) Citizenship or immigration status;

(iv) Financial information such as account numbers or electronic funds transfer information;

(v) Medical information; and/or

(vi) System authentication information such as mother’s maiden name, account passwords or personal identification numbers.

(3) Other PII may be “sensitive” depending on its context, such as a list of employees with less than satisfactory performance ratings or an unlisted home address or phone number. In contrast, a business card or public telephone directory of agency employees contains PII but it is not sensitive.

(4) The Vendor shall only use CUI obtained under this task order for purposes of the Vendor; it shall not be disclosed, released, disseminated, or published without the prior written consent of the Contracting Officer.

(5) If it is established elsewhere in this task order that information to be utilized under this task order, or a portion thereof, is subject to the Privacy Act, The Vendor shall follow the rules and procedures of disclosure set forth in the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and implementing regulations and policies, with respect to systems of records determined to be subject to the Privacy Act.

(6) At expiration or termination of this task order, the Vendor shall turn over all CUI obtained under the Vendor that is in its possession.

(d) Systems Access. Work to be performed under this task order may require the handling of CUI, including PII.
