Sensitive_Security_Information_Acknowledgement_Form.docx

This is a Sensitive Security Information Acknowledgement Form issued by the City of Phoenix Aviation Department for use in conjunction with a contract opportunity. The form serves as a template to acknowledge receipt and control of documents containing Sensitive Security Information (SSI) as regulated under 49 C.F.R. Parts 15 and 1520. The form requires authorized representatives of bidding companies to confirm their understanding of disclosure restrictions, acknowledge that only personnel with a documented "need to know" may access the specified documents, and agree to destroy all materials upon completion of their review or use or by the contract end date, whichever occurs first. The form includes signature lines for the company's authorized representative, printed name, title, phone number, and complete address.

The acknowledgement form represents a standard security compliance requirement applicable to the City of Phoenix Water Services Department's Invitation for Bid IFB-26-0112 for bypass spools and tailpieces. All bidders and their personnel who will access contract-related documents must execute this form as a condition of participation in the procurement process. Unauthorized disclosure of Sensitive Security Information carries potential civil penalties and other legal consequences under federal regulations. The form emphasizes that for U.S. government agencies, public disclosure is additionally governed by the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and applicable Department of Transportation security regulations, reinforcing the strict confidentiality requirements associated with this water infrastructure procurement.
