About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file for the Scheduled Fuel Barge Services in Atlantic Region solicitation (HTC71125RW001) issued by the Department of Defense United States Transportation Command. The Q&A addresses three key clarification requests: (1) a potential misprint in the estimated quantity for Option Year Three CLINs 3005-3007, which the government confirmed were updated via Amendment 2, (2) confirmation that all offerors, including small businesses, must complete the Small Business Utilization Worksheet, with Attachment 9 applying only to large businesses, and (3) a detailed inquiry about Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Controlled Defense Information (CDI) in the Performance Work Statement, to which the government responded that the contract currently does not anticipate using such information but will retain the Operations Security (OPSEC) section for cautionary purposes.

5.7, Operations
Security
(OPSEC)
Although the PWS references “Information determined as legacy FOUO or CUI included as part of the OPSEC Critical Information List (CIL),” the PWS does not refer to processing, storing, or transmitting covered defense information (“CDI”). If TRANSCOM believes that the contract will require processing, storing, or transmitting CDI or Controlled Unclassified Information (“CUI”), we request that the solicitation specifically identify what information or categories the agency intends to designate as CUI or is considering identifying as CDI and whether the agency anticipates that a contractor would create information that the agency would designate CUI/CDI. We also request that TRANSCOM explain how it intends to provide CUI/CDI information to the contractor. Such information is necessary for offerors to be able to include appropriate compliance-related costs and requests to vary from NIST SP 800.171 Revision 2 in their proposals. If the agency has not identified any information that would be provided by the government or the contractor as CUI/CDI, we request that the agency consider removing Section 5.7 from the solicitation.
This requirement/contract does not currently contain or anticipate the use of any CUI/CDI information. However, Section 5.7 will remain in the PWS for cautionary purposes. There are no OPSEC concerns as the PWS is considered Unclassified; however, OPSEC may arise into the Unclassified environment due to aggregation of data, mis-labeled information, or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) provided to the Contractor. 20-Mar-25
