The contractor must also establish capabilities for forensic data preservation to support investigations and audits, ensuring that all relevant digital evidence is retained in a forensically sound manner. Performance of all activities is to be conducted at the specified location in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with a focus on securing defense-related information systems against evolving cyber threats. The subcontract is solicited under NAICS code 541512 for other information technology services, and responses must be submitted by August 7, 2026. The work is critical to sustaining the contractor’s eligibility to handle regulated defense information and to meet mandatory federal cybersecurity obligations required for participation in DoD programs. Failure to meet these requirements could result in loss of contractual compliance and jeopardize future business opportunities with the Department of Defense.
