Cybersecurity & CUI Protection Compliance

The contract requires the implementation and ongoing evaluation of cybersecurity controls to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information in alignment with NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS regulations. The scope demands a robust, continuous compliance framework that ensures CUI is protected throughout its lifecycle, with emphasis on technical, operational, and managerial safeguards as defined by federal standards. Performance must be maintained consistently, with regular assessments to validate adherence and address emerging threats or gaps in the control environment. This subcontract is issued under NAICS code 541611 and is associated with the Department of Defense’s DCso Richmond Division #1, with performance required at a location with zip code 23237. The solicitation was posted on July 20, 2026, and responses are due by 7:00 PM the same day, indicating a very tight turnaround. There is no set-aside designation specified, and while the contracting office details are incomplete, the place of performance and agency affiliation point to a defense-focused requirement, likely supporting secure information processing or handling operations. Participation requires proven experience in NIST and DFARS compliance, with an explicit focus on sustainment rather than one-time implementation.
