The document outlines the definition, importance, types, levels, access, marking, protection, shipping, reproduction, destruction, and reporting of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) within the DoD. CUI is government-created or possessed information requiring safeguarding and dissemination controls due to laws, regulations, or policies. The DoD CUI Index includes 19 major categories with 103 subcategories. CUI is categorized as Basic, which follows CUI Registry controls, or Specified, which has specific handling controls dictated by authorizing laws. Access to CUI requires an authorized government purpose and a

The Department of the Air Force's 14th Flying Training Wing at Columbus Air Force Base issued a memorandum to contractors regarding the mandatory safeguarding of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). This document, effective July 3, 2024, outlines procedures for prime contractors and subcontractors to acknowledge and implement CUI protection both before and after contract awards. Key requirements include the insertion of FAR Clause 52.204-21 in solicitations and contracts, mandatory DoD CUI training for all personnel with CUI access (to be completed within 30 days of assignment or prior to access), and the signing of this memorandum as proof of training completion. Contractors must report any improper CUI disclosure to the Contracting Officer within 72 hours. Failure to comply can result in severe recourse, including retraining, debarment, or contract termination, as determined by the 14 CONS/CC and CAFB Wing Information Protection Officer.
