Cybersecurity & Covered Defense Information (CUI) Safeguarding

The contract requires the implementation and maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 controls to safeguard Covered Unclassified Information (CUI) within nonfederal information systems, in full compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012. This subcontract is scoped to ensure robust cybersecurity measures are in place to protect sensitive defense information processed, stored, or transmitted by the contractor, with strict adherence to the outlined NIST framework for confidentiality, integrity, and availability. All security controls must be documented, assessed, and continuously monitored to meet federal requirements and maintain compliance throughout the contract lifecycle. The solicitation is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541512, tied to the Department of Defense and specifically linked to the organization in San Diego, with performance taking place at the zip code 92136-3581. The proposal must be submitted by July 16, 2026, and the opportunity was posted on July 5, 2026, through the DIBBS platform. While no set-aside designation or point of contact is provided, full compliance with CUI safeguarding standards remains the central obligation, and failure to meet these requirements could result in contract nonperformance or loss of eligibility for future defense work.
