Pursuant to the Uniform State/USAID/USIA Regulations (Volume 12, Foreign Affairs Manual, Chapter 540), USAID applies the safeguards applicable to “Confidential” information to administratively controlled information designated as “Sensitive But Unclassified”. Therefore, when the clause in FAR 52.204-2 is used in USAID contracts, pursuant to section 704.404, paragraph (a) of the clause is revised as follows: (See 52.204)
“(a) This clause applies to the extent that this contract involves access to classified (‘Confidential’, ‘Secret’, or ‘Top Secret’), or administratively controlled (‘Sensitive But Unclassified’) information.”
