CUI Safeguarding & Cybersecurity Compliance

The contract requires full implementation of NIST SP 800-171 controls to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012, ensuring that all relevant cybersecurity requirements are met to protect sensitive government data. This is a subcontract under the Department of Defense, specifically tied to the Aviation Supply Chain ESOC Buys, with performance located at Fort Carson, Colorado, 80913-4093. The work is governed by NAICS code 541512, indicating it involves computer systems design and related services, and all contractors must demonstrate mature cybersecurity practices aligned with federal standards for handling CUI. The solicitation was posted on July 20, 2026, with a response deadline of July 28, 2026, giving prospective bidders a tight eight-day window to submit proposals. While no set-aside type or point of contact is specified, the requirement is non-negotiable in its scope—any entity awarded this subcontract must be fully compliant with NIST 800-171 controls prior to performance and maintain continuous adherence throughout the contract duration. Failure to implement and document the required safeguards will result in non-compliance and potential contract termination.
