    Good afternoon, and thank you for all you do.
    I have been taking the “Federal Contract” part of FCI literally but recently enough doubt seeds have been planted that I have this huge doubt tree growing inside.
    We get Flow-downs contracts only from main contractors (GD, LM, Boeing etc.). I was considering just the “legal” contract and anything other documents that were tightly coupled to the hip of the “contract” as FCI, and it kept in our level 1 cloud, and anything SOW’s, technical specs, drawings, schematics, etc. under that “contract” as CUI/CTI or ITAR based on labels, and that kept in a GCCHigh Cloud enclave.
    Am I off base with this thinking?
