The contract supports the implementation and advisory services necessary to achieve compliance with the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement cybersecurity requirements, specifically focusing on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-171 controls.

Services are tailored to meet the unique needs of defense supply chain entities operating under DLA oversight. The work is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Defense, with the performing organization required to align all activities with the NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services.

The solicitation was posted in July 2026, indicating this is a prospective procurement aimed at securing qualified partners to assist in meeting urgent federal compliance deadlines and enhancing resilience against cyber threats.
