Cybersecurity & CUI Compliance Support

The contract requires implementation of NIST SP 800-171 security controls to protect Controlled Unclassified Information handled by systems supporting the Department of Defense. It demands continuous monitoring of these systems to ensure compliance and immediate detection of potential security breaches. Any cyber incident affecting CUI must be reported within 72 hours to meet federal reporting requirements. The scope applies to all systems under this subcontract that process, store, or transmit CUI, with strict adherence to the NIST framework being mandatory. Compliance is non-negotiable and tied directly to the contract’s performance expectations. This subcontract is issued under the Defense Logistics Agency’s auspices as part of the broader Department of Defense cybersecurity initiative, and the work is governed by NAICS code 541512, indicating it involves computer systems design and related services. The performance location is not specified, but the requirements apply regardless of geographic site. The subcontractor is expected to maintain robust cybersecurity practices, document control execution, and demonstrate ongoing compliance readiness at all times. Failure to meet the 72-hour incident reporting window or failure to implement required NIST controls could result in contract violations and potential termination.
