The contract requires the contractor to safeguard covered defense information in strict compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012, mandating the full implementation of all NIST SP 800-171 security controls to protect sensitive data transmitted, stored, or processed under the agreement. The contractor must also promptly report any cyber incidents affecting this information, ensuring timely notification and cooperation in response efforts. This subcontract is tied to performance at Tinker Air Force Base with a ZIP code of 73145-8000, under the Department of Defense’s ASC Commodities Division, and falls under NAICS code 541512 for Computer Systems Design Services. The solicitation was posted on August 4, 2026, with a response deadline of August 12, 2026, indicating a short turnaround for proposals. The contract is classified as a subcontract and does not involve a specific set-aside designation, meaning it is open to eligible organizations regardless of small business status. All activities must adhere to federal cybersecurity standards, and noncompliance with safeguarding or incident reporting requirements could result in contractual penalties or loss of eligibility for future DoD work. Potential bidders must ensure their systems and processes are fully aligned with NIST SP 800-171 before submission.
