Cybersecurity and Covered Defense Information (CDI) Safeguarding

This contract requires the implementation of NIST SP 800-171 controls to safeguard covered defense information handled during manufacturing and data processing activities. The work is scoped as a subcontract under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the Electrical Devices Division, and is tied to the NAICS code 541512, indicating a focus on computer systems design and related services. Performance of the required cybersecurity measures must occur at a location identified as FPO with ZIP code 96666, which is typically used for military postal services and suggests operations may support deployed or overseas defense initiatives. Compliance with NIST controls is mandatory to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive defense data throughout its lifecycle, from receipt through processing and storage. The solicitation is open for responses until August 3, 2026, with a posting date of July 22, 2026, indicating a relatively short response window. There is no set-aside designation specified, meaning the contract is open to all eligible contractors regardless of size or status. While the point of contact details are not provided, all proposals must be submitted through the designated DIBBS portal via the provided link. Failure to meet the NIST 800-171 requirements may result in non-compliance penalties, termination, or exclusion from future defense work, making strict adherence to the specified controls a non-negotiable condition of award.
