There shall not be any substitution for those pieces of equipment unless a RFV is submitted to the Contracting Officer IAW CDRL A009 and written approval for the substitution is granted.
C.1.7 Replacement parts procured shall conform to the materials listed in referenced drawings. Substitution of any part identified by part number, National Stock Number and/or Manufacturer shall an RFV submitted to the Contracting Officer IAW CDRL A009 and written approval for the substitution is granted. The written request shall include all applicable material information needed to determine whether the requested material meets Army requirements. Submission for substitution does not constitute approval of the substitution. Permission for substitution of specified parts will be granted in writing by the Contracting Officer.
C.1.8 Subcontract Work on Additional and Extra Items: When work is to be subcontracted, the contractor shall include two or more quotes with its CR, if only one subcontractor is available, the contractor shall provide rationale as to why there is only one subcontractor that can do the work.
C.1.9 Payment and Performance Bonds: When payment and performance bonds are required, the Contractor shall submit them within 10 calendar days after contract award. Failure to provide bonds within 10 calendar days may result in termination for default without a Cure Notice being issued by the Contracting Officer. Proof that a performance and payment bond can be attained, and an estimated cost, shall be required prior to award. Contractors receiving a task order for the first time may be required to submit a performance bond.
C.1.10 Provisioning Performance Schedules:
The contractor shall, within five days after vessel pick up/delivery, prepare and submit to the Contracting Officer for approval an electronic provisioning performance schedule (referred to as schedule) IAW CDRL A001, listing work by individual item, and showing the order in which the contractor proposes to perform the work, and the dates on which the contractor contemplates starting and completing the work (including acquiring the material). All updates shall identify the actual start date of each item, actual completion dates, and clearly identify the impact on all critical path items that impact completion of the project. If the contractor fails to submit a schedule within the time prescribed, the Contracting Officer may withhold approval of progress payments until the contractor submits the required schedule and the Government accepts the schedule. When there are requirements for long lead time parts, the contractor shall include in each production schedule the initial order date, estimated parts delivery date, the earliest induction date, and projected completion dates for work being solicited.
C.1.10.1 The contractor shall keep the Schedule current by making entries to include added or deleted items of work or changes in scheduled dates, and upon doing so shall immediately deliver the updated schedule electronically to the Contracting Officer for approval. An updated Production Schedule shall be provided to the COR and the Contracting Officer a minimum of one update every 15 days. In the event of a significant change in schedule, a revised Schedule shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer within two days, IAW CDRL A001.
C.1.10.2 In the event of schedule delays, the contractor shall immediately notify the COR and the Contracting Officer by e-mail. The contractor shall detail the reasons for the schedule delay, proposed corrective action(s), and submit a revised schedule to the COR and Contracting Officer. The Government reserves the right to review and approve or disapprove any contractor proposed changes that affect the contract and task order schedules. Any request for PoP extension shall be requested in advance of the completion date established in the task order. Any revisions to the schedule shall show the original start and completion dates, in addition to the amended dates, for each item of the contract.

C.5 Security Guidelines.
There are types of information that are not classified but that require application of access and distribution controls and protective measures for a variety of reasons. This information is known as controlled unclassified information (CUI). The types of information considered CUI for the program are information marked For Official Use Only by the U.S. Government and technical data. When handling CUI material, all personnel are to comply with these requirements and follow their company policy and/or applicable Proprietary Information Agreements (PIA) concerning the protection of proprietary information in situations not clearly stated herein.
C.5.1. Technical Data Description. Any recorded information related to experimental, developmental, or engineering works that can be used to define an engineering or manufacturing process, or can be used to design, procure, produce, support, maintain, operate, repair, or overhaul program material. The data may be graphic or pictorial delineations in media (e.g., computer software, drawings, or photographs), text in specifications, related performance or design documents, or computer printouts. Examples of technical data include research and engineering data, engineering drawings, and associated lists, specifications, standards, process sheets, manuals, technical reports, catalog-item identifications, and related information, and computer software documentation.
C.5.2 For Official Use Only (FOUO) Information Description. For Official Use Only (FOUO) is a Government designation applied to unclassified information that may be exempt from mandatory release to the public under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). FOUO information includes information identified as such in the Security Classification Guide or information from a government document marked FOUO.
C.5.3 CUI Markings. The "Unclassified//For Official Use Only" (U//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). The marking of records at the time of their creation provides notice of U//FOUO content. An unclassified document containing U//FOUO information shall be marked UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY in bold letters at the bottom on the outside of the front cover (if any), on each page containing U//FOUO information, and on the outside of the back cover (if any). Marking of FOUO documents will be in accordance with Army Regulation (AR) 25-55. Information extracted from an FOUO document will carry the FOUO marking until formally reviewed by the government. AR 25-55 can be found at http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/r25_55.pdf.
C.5.4 Marking of Technical Data will include the statement provided in the Security Classification Guide. If the contents of the technical document require more than one Distribution Statement, apply the most restrictive statement. This does not preclude additional mandated markings as may be required by the contract.
C.6 Protection of CUI Information.
C.6.1 Access. CUI may be released only to an individual who has a valid need for such access in connection with the accomplishment of a lawful and authorized Government purpose. Information in any media format may only be disseminated on a need-to-know basis. The need-to-know restricts the use or dissemination of CUI data to those individuals or organizations with direct affiliation with the given program or project. Further dissemination of such information will be at the discretion of the Government Security Manager. Personnel no longer requiring access to CUI must delete or surrender any in their possession and terminate future access to it.
C.6.2 Storing/Handling. During working hours, take reasonable steps to minimize risk of access to CUI by unauthorized personnel. After working hours, when not in physical possession of the owner, all CUI (whether hardcopy or media that contains CUI) must be afforded a reasonable degree of physical protection to prevent theft of program information (e.g., store CUI information in locked desks or file cabinets, locked rooms, cable lock laptops, storing in a trunk, storing out of site or similar means). Do not display CUI in public places (e.g., airports, airplanes, restaurants). Computers used to process CUI do not need to be accredited for classified use, but shall be in accordance with DFARS 252.204-7012 Safeguarding of Unclassified Controlled Technical Information. Do not process CUI on public computers (e.g., those available for use by the general public in kiosks, hotel business centers), public wireless networks or computers that do not have access control. Personally owned computers and personally owned devices are not authorized to process CUI. Mobile devices used to store CUI electronically (e.g., company-issued laptops, personal electronic devices [PED]) must be physically protected and use NIST/NIAP-approved cryptographic products/algorithms. These are available at http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca or http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/. All media shall be marked in accordance with the Security Classification Guide and protected as below:
C.6.2.1 Portable electronic devices (e.g., smartphones, laptop computers, tablets) and removable media (e.g., external hard drives, flash drives, USB drives; not including optical media) must be physically and electronically protected as described in this instruction.
C.6.2.2 Optical media (e.g., DVDs, CDs) and non-portable computers (e.g., desktop or tower computers) are required to be physically protected; however, they are not required to be electronically protected as described in this instruction.
C.6.3 Dissemination. CUI printed documents and material may be transmitted through mail channels or hand-carried without formal courier orders. FOUO information may be disseminated to DoD personnel and DoD contractors to conduct official business for the program. If dissemination is required outside of DoD personnel or DoD contractors, contact the Government Security Manager for approval. Technical data will follow the release instructions identified in the Distribution Statement. Use secure communications whenever possible; however, land-line telephones are more secure than cellular telephones and should be used whenever available for discussions involving CUI.
Transmit voice and facsimile transmissions only when you have a reasonable assurance that only authorized recipients will have access to the transmission. Transmittal documents shall call attention to the presence of U//FOUO attachments. Removal of the U//FOUO marking can only be accomplished by the originator or other competent authority. Digital transmission shall comply with the below:
C.6.3.1 Transporting/Sending U//FOUO Information Via Mail. Records containing U//FOUO information shall be transported in a manner that precludes disclosure of the contents. When not commingled with classified information, U//FOUO information may be sent via first class mail or parcel post. Bulky shipments, such as distributions of U//FOUO Directives or testing materials, that otherwise qualify under postal regulations may be sent by fourth-class mail. When material marked U//FOUO is removed from storage, attach DA Label 87 (For Official Use Only Cover Sheet).
C.6.3.2 Electronic Transmission and Dissemination. All transmission and/or dissemination of CUI (i.e., email and file transfers) must use NIST/NIAP-approved cryptographic products/algorithms, e.g., DoD-approved Public Key Infrastructure Certification or AMRDEC Safe Exchange at https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/safe. These are available at http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca or http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/.
C.6.3.2.1 This encryption requirement includes communications that contain passcodes to teleconferences or web conferences where there is a reasonable expectation that CUI may be discussed. When encryption is not available, a government collaborative suite (aka Integrated Digital Environment [IDE]) must be used to transmit CUI.
C.6.3.3 Contractor-hosted collaborative suites may be used for digital transmission and/or dissemination of CUI by personnel not located on a government backbone (e.g., NIPRNET), provided the following conditions apply:
C.6.3.3.1 Use only NIST/NIAP-approved cryptographic vendors and algorithms. The latest validation lists may be obtained at http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca or http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/.
C.6.3.3.2 Use an internally hosted service that does not use a third-party collaborative suite service provider.
C.6.3.4 Do not post CUI to web pages that are publicly available or have access limited only by domain/IP…
