CMMC Level 2 Compliance Implementation and Maintenance

The contract requires the implementation and sustained maintenance of cybersecurity controls aligned with NIST SP 800-171 to attain and retain CMMC Level 2 certification, specifically for the handling of controlled unclassified information. This effort is essential to meet federal requirements for protecting sensitive data within the defense supply chain and involves comprehensive security measures covering access control, audit and accountability, configuration management, incident response, and system integrity. The work must be performed under a subcontract structure with a clear focus on operational compliance rather than merely procedural documentation, ensuring enduring adherence to the standard across all relevant systems and processes. The solicitation, posted on May 13, 2026, with a response deadline of May 28, 2026, is issued under the NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services and falls under the purview of the Department of Defense, specifically the LAND SUPPLY CHAIN organization. Performance is expected to support defense-related activities, though the exact location is not specified. The contract demands rigorous documentation, regular assessments, and ongoing monitoring to maintain certification, with failure to sustain compliance potentially resulting in loss of eligibility to handle CUI. All efforts must align with federal mandates and be executed in a manner that ensures continuous readiness for third-party audits and evaluations.
