CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171 Compliance Implementation

The contract requires the implementation of comprehensive cybersecurity controls to achieve compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and attain CMMC Level 2 certification for the handling of controlled unclassified information. This subcontract is tied to the Department of Defense through the ASC Commodities Division with performance taking place in Tracy, California, under the NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. The effort centers on establishing and documenting security practices across administrative, technical, and physical domains to meet the stringent requirements of CMMC Level 2, including access control, audit and accountability, configuration management, identification and authentication, incident response, and system and communications protection. All security controls must be fully operational, monitored, and maintained to sustain certification and ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of federal information. The solicitation opened on July 30, 2026, with a response deadline of August 7, 2026, indicating a narrow window for qualified vendors to submit proposals. The place of performance is fixed at a specific location in Tracy, and the subcontractor must be prepared to operate within the Department of Defense’s cybersecurity ecosystem. Successful bidders will be expected to demonstrate not only technical implementation but also documented policies, training programs, and continuous monitoring procedures aligned with federal standards. There is no set-aside classification specified, meaning the contract is open to all eligible contractors, and the award will likely prioritize proven experience in CMMC implementation, prior NIST 800-171 compliance, and demonstrable capacity to deliver on a tight timeline within a secure federal environment.
