Cybersecurity & CUI Protection Compliance

The contract requires the implementation of all NIST SP 800-171 security controls to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) throughout the performance of the subcontract. This includes establishing and maintaining robust cybersecurity practices across systems, networks, and processes that handle, store, or transmit CUI, ensuring compliance with federal standards for protecting sensitive but unclassified data. The contractor must demonstrate the ability to assess, monitor, and report on the status of these controls, with particular attention to access control, audit and accountability, configuration management, and incident response. This is a subcontract under the Department of Defense’s Land Supply Chain, classified under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. Proposals must be submitted by August 3, 2026, and the work is expected to be performed in support of defense-related operations, though specific performance location details are not provided. Compliance with NIST SP 800-171 is mandatory, and failure to meet these requirements may result in contract termination or legal consequences. The contractor is expected to have established cybersecurity policies, trained personnel, and documented procedures that align with federal CUI protection mandates.
