In plain terms. IAAR is the U.S. Agency for Global Media's acquisition supplement, applied with the FAR for the agency that runs U.S. international broadcasting.
Who it applies to. Contractors and service providers supporting U.S. Agency for Global Media operations.
What it requires. Meet the FAR baseline, then IAAR additions. The agency handles operational and personal data, so expect standard safeguarding requirements scaled to that information.
Why it matters. The FAR cyber baseline applies to USAGM contracts, with added terms where sensitive operational data is involved.
Citation. IAAR, the International Broadcasting Acquisition Regulation supplement to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), codified in the FAR System at Title 48 of the C.F.R.
