Cybersecurity Compliance & CUI Handling

The contract centers on the implementation and ongoing maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 security controls to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information within the Department of Defense’s logistical operations. As a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, the work requires full compliance with federal cybersecurity standards designed to protect CUI from unauthorized access, disclosure, or compromise. The contractor must establish, document, and sustain a robust security posture aligned with NIST guidelines, covering access control, audit and accountability, configuration management, incident response, and other critical domains essential for handling sensitive defense data. Performance is expected to support the agency’s broader mission of securing supply chain information across DoD networks and systems, with no specific location designated for performance, indicating potential remote or multi-site execution. The contract falls under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services, underscoring the technical nature of the work which includes policy development, system hardening, continuous monitoring, and reporting to ensure enduring compliance. All activities must be conducted in alignment with federal regulations governing CUI, and the contractor is responsible for maintaining evidence of adherence through documentation, assessments, and any required audits by federal oversight entities.
