CUI Contractor Training Acknowledgment July 2024.pdf

This is a Memorandum for Columbus Air Force Base Contractors regarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) safeguarding requirements. Issued by the 14th Contracting Squadron on 3 July 2024, the memorandum establishes mandatory procedures for all contractors and subcontractors at any tier who will access CUI materials in connection with federal contracts.

Key requirements include: contractors must insert FAR Clause 52.204-21 (Basic Safeguarding of Covered Contractor Information Systems) into all solicitations and contracts involving CUI; all personnel with CUI access must complete DoD mandatory CUI training from MyLearning before accessing CUI or within 30 days of assignment to Columbus Air Force Base, with training attachments posted to Government Point of Entry systems; contractors must sign and return this memorandum as acknowledgment of training completion prior to receiving any CUI contract materials; and contractors or subcontractors must notify the Contracting Officer within 72 hours of any improper CUI disclosure. Violations of these safeguarding procedures may result in recourse actions determined by the 14 CONS/CC and Wing Information Protection Officer, including retaking CUI training, debarment from base, or contract termination. The memorandum is signed by CRAIG E. MILES, Major, USAF, Commander, 14th Contracting Squadron.
