Can CII in the possession of DOD Components be validated as PCII?
No. Only future information given by the private sector with the Express and Certification Statements attached will be considered for validation as PCII by the PCII Program Office. If there is a need for a DoD Component to receive PCII directly from the private sector, then a special arrangement must be in place, referred to as a Categorical Inclusion Arrangement, prior to receiving the information.
