Cybersecurity and CUI Compliance Support

The contract requires comprehensive support for implementing NIST SP 800-171 security controls to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in accordance with DFARS requirements, ensuring that all systems handling Controlled Defense Information meet federal cybersecurity standards. This includes configuring technical and administrative safeguards, conducting gap assessments, and establishing documented policies and procedures that align with NIST guidelines to achieve and sustain compliance. The scope extends to developing and maintaining a robust cyber incident response plan tailored to the organization’s environment, outlining detection, reporting, containment, recovery, and forensic analysis processes to mitigate threats to CUI. Ongoing compliance monitoring is a critical component, demanding continuous evaluation of security controls, regular audits, and corrective action tracking to ensure sustained adherence to NIST SP 800-171 requirements. The contractor must provide proactive reporting, evidence collection, and documentation to demonstrate compliance to the Department of Defense, specifically under the SPRMM1 DLA Mechanicsburg office. The effort is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541512, focusing on computer systems design services, and is intended to support defense industrial base cybersecurity posture through systematic, repeatable, and verifiable implementation and oversight measures.
