MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION
SUBJECT: Updated Guidance for Applicability of Department of Defense Manual
8140.03 Requirements Under Performance Work Statements
1. References.
a. CIO memorandum (Applicability of Department of Defense Manual 8140.03
Requirements Under Performance Work Statements), 12 December 2024 (hereby
superseded).
b. DoDM 8140.03 (Cyber Workforce Qualifications).
2. Purpose. Update the reference 1a guidance (hereby superseded) on the application
of Department of Defense Manual (DoDM) 8140.03 to Army contracts awarded
pursuant to a Performance Work Statement (PWS).
3. Background.
a. The DoD Chief Information Officer released DoDM 8140.03, Cyber Workforce
Qualification, in February 2023 (reference 1b). It applies to contractor cyber-coded
positions. On 12 December 2024, the Army Chief Information Officer (CIO) issued the
reference 1a guidance. New developments require this update to reference 1a.
b. Army organizations should maximize the use of Performance Work Statements,
which articulate task deliverables and the standards for acceptance. When using a
PWS, the Army does not dictate specifics regarding personnel, just the work to be
accomplished. The former is solely the contractor’s responsibility.
4. Guidance on the application of DoDM 8140.03 to contractor personnel.
a. In most situations, it would be inappropriate and unnecessary to assign a cyber
work role code to all contractor personnel performing work resulting from a PWS.
b. The requirements set forth in DoDM 8140.03 should not be applied to contractor
personnel performing work pursuant to a PWS. The DoDM 8140.03 requirements
should only be applied to contractors working in coded positions.

8140.03 Requirements Under Performance Work Statements
c. Per DoDM 8140.03, the requirements set forth for DoD 8570.01-M are no longer
in effect and should not be included in Army contracts awarded pursuant to a PWS.
5. Implementation. Authorizing Officials (AOs), Program Executive Offices, and all
Army commands are responsible for ensuring compliance with this guidance.
Furthermore, the use of Performance Work Statements should be maximized, unless is
it impractical under existing circumstances.
6. Expiration and review. This guidance is effective immediately and remains in effect
until rescinded. The Army Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) will review this
guidance for update annually or as needed.
