Cybersecurity and Information Safeguarding

The contract requires the implementation of foundational cybersecurity safeguards for contractor information systems to ensure compliance with NIST Special Publication 800-171 and the Federal Acquisition Regulation clause 52.204-21. These measures are designed to protect controlled unclassified information processed, stored, or transmitted on contractor systems by establishing standardized security controls covering access control, audit, configuration management, identification and authentication, incident response, maintenance, media protection, personnel security, risk assessment, system and communications protection, and system and information integrity. The requirement applies broadly to any covered information systems under the subcontract and mandates full adherence to the referenced standards as a condition of performance. This subcontract is issued under the Defense Logistics Agency, part of the Department of Defense, with performance expected to occur in Albany, Georgia, at the ZIP code 31704-0325. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 541512, which pertains to computer systems design services, indicating the work involves technical implementation and integration of cybersecurity protocols. The posting date is July 16, 2026, and responses must be submitted by July 27, 2026. The contract type is explicitly a subcontract, meaning the awardee will be fulfilling obligations under a larger prime contract, and compliance with all NIST and FAR requirements is non-negotiable for contract execution. All technical and administrative deliverables must align with federal cybersecurity mandates without exception.
