Cybersecurity and CUI Safeguarding Support

The contract requires the implementation and ongoing maintenance of cybersecurity controls aligned with NIST Special Publication 800-171 to safeguard Covered Defense Information (CUI) against unauthorized access, disclosure, or compromise. The contractor must ensure full compliance with all applicable control requirements, including administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, to meet Department of Defense standards for protecting sensitive unclassified information. Regular self-assessments are mandatory to validate adherence to the NIST framework, and findings must be documented and reported as required by DoD policy. In addition to safeguarding CUI, the contractor is obligated to detect, respond to, and report any cyber incidents involving the information system in accordance with DoD directives. This includes timely notification of breaches or suspicious activities and participation in necessary remediation efforts. The contract falls under the NAICS code for computer systems design and related services and is structured as a subcontract supporting the Defense Logistics Agency, with performance expected in support of broader DoD cybersecurity objectives. Compliance is non-negotiable and directly tied to contractual obligations and continued eligibility for defense-related work.
