This subcontract is under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the Defense Logistics Agency, and focuses on ensuring that all covered systems are compliant with federal standards for protecting sensitive but unclassified data throughout its lifecycle. The work must be executed with strict adherence to the defined cybersecurity framework, and continuous monitoring and documentation of compliance are essential to meet contractual obligations. The contract is classified as a subcontract with a NAICS code of 541512, indicating involvement in computer systems design services. Although specific location details for performance or contact information are not provided, the scope centers on cybersecurity rigor within defense-related operations.
