This includes documenting policies, conducting regular risk assessments, ensuring proper access controls, managing system configurations, and maintaining audit capabilities to verify compliance with all 110 controls outlined in NIST SP 800-171. The work is being conducted under a subcontract for the Aviation Supply Chain ESOC Buys office within the Department of Defense, with the NAICS code 541512 indicating services related to computer systems design. The solicitation was posted on July 16, 2026, and responses are due by July 24, 2026. The place of performance and specific location details are not specified, suggesting the work may be performed remotely or across multiple sites as long as compliance obligations are fully satisfied. The contractor must demonstrate the ability to not only implement technical safeguards but also institutionalize a culture of cybersecurity accountability across the organization to ensure sustained certification compliance.
