CUI Cybersecurity & NIST SP 800-171 Implementation

The contract requires full implementation and ongoing maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 security controls to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) across all systems and processes involved in the performance of work. Compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012 is mandatory, meaning the contractor must not only establish the required cybersecurity measures but also ensure continuous adherence through audits, assessments, and system hardening. Any cybersecurity incident involving CUI must be reported to the appropriate government authority within 72 hours of discovery, with detailed documentation of the nature, scope, and response actions taken. This is a small business set-aside subcontract under the NAICS code 541512, exclusively available to small businesses, and the place of performance is designated as New Cumberland, PA with a zip code of 17070-5002. The solicitation was posted on July 21, 2026, with proposals due by August 3, 2026, under the U.S. Department of Defense’s Land Supply Chain office. Failure to meet NIST SP 800-171 requirements or to timely report incidents will result in noncompliance and potential contractual consequences, making rigorous cybersecurity governance and proactive incident response integral to successful contract execution.
