MFR CUI Contractor Training Acknowledgment July 2024.pdf

This is a Memorandum for Columbus Air Force Base Contractors establishing mandatory procedures for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in federal contracts.

The memorandum, issued July 3, 2024, by the 14th Contracting Squadron, requires all contractors and subcontractors at any tier to implement CUI safeguarding procedures consistent with FAR 4.19 and FAR Clause 52.204-2. All contractors with access to CUI materials must complete Department of Defense mandatory CUI training from MyLearning before accessing CUI or within 30 days of assignment to Columbus Air Force Base; training documentation shall be attached to solicitation postings on Government Point of Entry systems. Prior to receiving any contract or contract material classified as CUI, contractors must sign and return this memorandum as acknowledgment of training completion. Contractors and subcontractors are required to notify the Contracting Officer within 72 hours of any improper CUI disclosure. Violations of CUI safeguarding protocols subject contractors to recourse as determined by the 14th Contracting Squadron and Columbus Air Force Base Wing Information Protection Officer, including mandatory CUI training retakes, debarment from base, or contract termination. The document requires contractor signature, company name, employee name, and date on the acknowledgment form included as an attachment titled "Contractor Initial CUI Training."
