Summary of Information Collection
DFARS 204.404-70(a) prescribes use of DFARS Clause 252.204-7000,
Disclosure of information, in contracts that require the contractor to
access or generate unclassified information that may be sensitive and
inappropriate for release to the public. The clause requires the
contractor to obtain approval of the contracting officer before release
of any unclassified contract-related information outside the
contractor's organization, unless the information is already in the
public domain. In requesting this approval, the contractor must
identify the specific information to be released, the medium to be
used, and the purpose for the release.
DFARS 204.7207 prescribes use of the DFARS provision 252.204-7001,
Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code Reporting, in
solicitations when CAGE codes for potential offerors are not available
to the contracting officer. The provision requires an offeror to enter
its CAGE code on its offer. If an offeror does not have a CAGE code,
the offeror may request one from the contracting officer, who will ask
the offeror to complete section B of DD Form 2051, Request for
Assignment of a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code.
