FCI stands for Federal Contract Information.

Federal Contract Information (FCI) is non-public information created or received while performing a federal contract. Handling FCI (but not CUI) generally puts a contractor at CMMC Level 1.

Level 1 covers 17 basic safeguarding practices from FAR 52.204-21 and is met with an annual self-assessment and senior-official affirmation — no third-party assessor required.

The line between FCI and CUI matters: assuming you are FCI-only when you actually handle CUI is one of the most common and costly scoping mistakes contractors make.
