Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Cybersecurity Compliance

The contract requires the implementation and maintenance of cybersecurity safeguards for systems that handle Controlled Unclassified Information in strict alignment with NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 252.240-7997 standards. This includes establishing, documenting, and sustaining controls to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of CUI across all applicable systems and networks. The contractor must ensure full compliance readiness for third-party assessments, which may involve rigorous audits, evidence reviews, and validation of security practices to confirm adherence to federal requirements. All activities must be conducted under the auspices of the Department of Defense’s Medical Supply Chain MD Surg FSF, with performance located at Fort Campbell, Tennessee, under a subcontract arrangement. The solicitation, issued under NAICS code 541512 for Computer Systems Design Services, is open for response until August 10, 2026, with a posted date of August 2, 2026. There is no set-aside designation specified, and the contract is intended for a subcontractor supporting defense-related cybersecurity obligations. The environment demands continuous monitoring, configuration management, incident response capability, and personnel training to meet ongoing compliance obligations. Failure to maintain these standards could result in noncompliance penalties or termination of performance, making the contractor responsible for both initial implementation and sustained adherence throughout the contract lifecycle.
