Additional Notes
Contractors must be certified through Defense Logistics Information Services (DLIS) to access Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or Export Controlled Information. Access to CUI is restricted to a single point of contact (POC) per CAGE code, who must be listed as the Data Custodian on the DD 2345 and approved by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Firms are responsible for coordinating with their CAGE code's Data Custodian POC to request CUI access. Further information on the Joint Certification Program (JCP) is available on the DLA website: https://www.dla.mil/HQ/LogisticsOperations/Services/JCP/. A draft SOW document, "CUI-Draft SOW SLAM-TLAM housings.docx", is available.
