Cybersecurity & CUI Safeguarding Support

The contract requires the implementation and ongoing maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 security controls to safeguard covered defense information, ensuring compliance with federal cybersecurity standards for protected data. Contractors must establish robust technical and administrative safeguards across all systems handling sensitive information and are obligated to report any cyber incidents to the Defense Criminal Investigative Service’s Cyber Defense Center within 72 hours of discovery. These requirements extend to all subcontractors, necessitating explicit flow-down of security obligations through contractual agreements to maintain end-to-end compliance. The work is tied to a Department of Defense initiative under the Medical Supply Chain MD Surg FSF, with performance centered at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, 28310. Though classified as a subcontract, the effort is critical to supporting DoD cybersecurity posture and demands rigorous adherence to incident response timelines and control documentation.
