Attachment 2 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (FOUO) ADDENDUM

Block 13, Continuation: Ref Block 10, item j., for Official Use Only Information

Solicitation # FA7014-17-R-5002

1. The following procedures will be used to protect FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

(FOUO) material:

2. GENERAL:

a. The "For Official Use Only" (FOUO) marking is assigned to information at the time of its creation in a DoD User Agency. It is not authorized as a substitute for a security classification marking but is used on official government information that may be withheld from the public under exemptions 2 through 9 of the Freedom of Information

Act (FOIA).

b. Other non-security markings, such as "Limited Official Use" and "Official Use

Only" are used by non-DoD User Agencies for the same type of information and should be safeguarded and handled in accordance with instruction received from such agencies.

c. Use of the above markings does not mean that the information cannot be released to the public under FOIA, only that the Government must review the information prior to its release to determine whether a significant and legitimate government purpose is served by withholding the information or portions thereof.

3. HANDLING: Access to FOUO material shall be limited to those employees needing the material to do their jobs. The FOUO marking is assigned to material created by a DoD user agency. FOUO is not a classification, but requires extra precaution to ensure it is not released to the public.

4. MARKING:

a. An unclassified document containing FOUO information will be marked "For

Official Use Only" at the bottom of the front cover (if any), on the first page, on each page containing FOUO information, on the back page, and on the outside of the back cover (if any).

b. Within a classified document, an individual page that contains both FOUO and classified information will be marked at the top and bottom with the highest security classification of information appearing on the page. If an individual portion contains

FOUO information but no classified information, the portion will be marked, "FOUO."

c. Mark “FOUO” at the bottom of each page that has FOUO but not classified material.

d. If a classified document also contains FOUO material or if the classified material becomes FOUO when declassified, place the following statement on the bottom of the cover or the first page under the classification marking: “NOTE: If declassified, review the document to make sure material is not FOUO and not exempt under AFI 37-131 before public release.”

e. Mark other records such as computer print outs, photographs, films, tapes, or slides “FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY” so the receiver or viewer knows the record contains FOUO material.

f. Mark each part of a message that contains FOUO material. Unclassified messages containing FOUO material must show the abbreviation “FOUO” before the text begins.

g. Ensure documents that transmit FOUO material call attention to any FOUO attachments.

h. FOUO material released to a contractor by a DoD user agency must have the following statement on the front page or cover: “THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS

MATERIAL EXEMPT FROM MANDATORY DISCLOSURE UNDER THE

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT. EXEMPTION(S) APPLY.”

i. Removal of the "For Official Use Only" marking can only be accomplished by the originator or other competent authority. When the "For Official Use Only" status is terminated, all known holders will be notified to the extent practical.

5. DISSEMINATION: Contractors may disseminate "For Official Use Only" information to their employees and subcontractors who have a need for the information in connection with a classified contract. Contractors must ensure employees and subcontractors are aware of the special handling instructions detailed below.

6. STORAGE: During normal duty hours/working hours, "For Official Use Only" information shall be placed in an out-of-sight location if the work area is accessible to persons who do not have a need for the information. During nonworking hours, the information shall be stored to preclude unauthorized access. Filing such material with other unclassified records in unlocked files or desks, is adequate when internal building security is provided during nonworking hours. When such internal security control is not exercised, locked buildings or rooms will provide adequate after- hours protection or the material can be stored in locked receptacles such as file cabinets, desks, or bookcases. Expenditure of funds for security container(s) or closed areas solely for the protection of FOUO material is prohibited.

7. TRANSMISSION: "For Official Use Only" information may be sent via first-class mail or parcel post. Bulky shipments may be sent by fourth-class mail. DoD components, officials of DoD components, and authorized DoD contractors, consultants, and grantees send

FOUO information to each other to conduct official DoD business. Tell recipients the status of such information, and send the material in a way that prevents unauthorized public disclosure.

Make sure documents that transmit FOUO material call attention to any FOUO attachments.

Normally, you may send FOUO records over facsimile equipment. To prevent unauthorized disclosure, consider attaching special cover sheets, the location of sending and receiving machines, and whether authorized personnel are around to receive FOUO information. FOUO information may be passed to officials in other departments and agencies of the executive and judicial branches to fulfill a government function. Mark the records "For Official Use Only" and tell the recipient the information is exempt from public disclosure under the FOIA and requires special handling.

8. RELEASE: FOUO material shall not be released outside the contractor’s facility except to representatives of the Department of Defense.

9. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE: Unauthorized disclosure of "For Official Use

Only" information does not constitute a security violation but the releasing agency should be informed of any unauthorized disclosure. The unauthorized disclosure of FOUO information protected by the Privacy Act may result in criminal sanctions and disciplinary action may be taken against those responsible.

10. DESTRUCTION: When no longer needed, FOUO material shall be disposed of by a method that precludes its disclosure to unauthorized individuals.
