MFR CUI Contractor Training Acknowledgment July 2024.pdf

This is a Memorandum for Columbus Air Force Base Contractors regarding Safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Acknowledgment, issued by the 14th Contracting Squadron on 3 July 2024.

The memorandum establishes mandatory CUI safeguarding procedures applicable to all contractors and subcontractors at any tier working on contracts with Columbus Air Force Base. Contractors must complete Department of Defense mandatory Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Training from MyLearning before accessing CUI materials or within 30 days of assignment to Columbus AFB. For civilian contractors unable to access MyLearning, training documentation must be attached to all Government Point of Entry (GPE) system solicitation postings. All contractors receiving CUI contract materials must sign and return the acknowledgment memorandum prior to receipt of classified or CUI-designated contract materials. The memorandum requires contractors or subcontractors to notify the Contracting Officer within 72 hours of any improper CUI disclosure. Improper disclosure of CUI materials subjects contractors to recourse determined by the 14th Contracting Squadron and Columbus AFB Wing Information Protection Officer, including mandatory CUI training retakes, debarment from base, or possible contract termination. The memorandum references FAR 4.19, FAR Clause 52.204-2, and Executive Order 13556 as legal authorities.
