Cybersecurity and CUI Safeguarding Support

The contract seeks support for implementing NIST SP 800-171 security controls and performing a CMMC Level 2 self-assessment to ensure the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information in alignment with Department of Defense requirements. The work is focused on enabling defense compliance by establishing robust cybersecurity measures that safeguard sensitive data throughout its lifecycle, particularly within systems handling CUI. The effort requires detailed technical expertise in applying the specific controls outlined in NIST SP 800-171, documenting compliance evidence, and preparing internal assessments that meet CMMC Level 2 standards. Performance will be conducted at the specified location in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with a response deadline of August 7, 2026, and the solicitation is issued as a subcontract under NAICS code 541512, which categorizes it under Computer Systems Design Services. The ordering activity is the Active Devices Division within the Department of Defense, indicating this effort supports critical defense infrastructure. Failure to properly implement controls or accurately complete the self-assessment could result in noncompliance with federal cybersecurity mandates, jeopardizing contract eligibility and future business opportunities with DoD entities.
