Former_DCAA Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 I read the DPAS regulations and can't seem to find an answer. Is a DPAS rating on a contract (or subcontract/purchase order) considered CUI? Does a foreign national need to be restricted from seeing it?

Neil Roberts Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 You may start your research with DOD by reviewing https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/520048p.PDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But check around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Culham Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 Not saying a deep dive will answer the question but here is another possible reference to check around in. As I understand it does provide help regarding DFARS 252.204.7102 and NIST SP 800-171...... http://dodprocurementtoolbox.com/ at the Cybersecurity tab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerfed Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 The rating is evident on solicitations. Why would orders with the same rating be marked CUI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

here_2_help Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Back in the day I used to work on secret and above programs. Many, many aspects of those contracts were classified. But nobody ever worried about the DPAS rating. Which is to say, it was neither classified nor was it controlled. Short answer: I agree with Mr. Edwards' position on the matter.

Neil Roberts Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 The DOD CUI Registry lists the laws, regulations and government-wide policies requiring DOD safeguarding of each CUI category. See, https://www.dodcui.mil/Portals/109/Documents/CUI Registry/CUI Registry PDF 18 MAY 21.pdf?ver=oY8Aux88iwaicCIJbabl8A%3d%3d. There is a Procurement and Acquisition category. I reviewed it and did not find any inclusion of DPAS related ratings (FAR 52.211-15 , FAR 11.6, 15 CFR 700). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former_DCAA Posted August 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Thank you all. It does not appear to be CUI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
