Cybersecurity Compliance and CUI Handling Support

The contract seeks advisory and implementation support to achieve compliance with NIST Special Publication 800-171, focusing on the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information within the Department of Defense supply chain. The scope includes guiding entities through the necessary technical and administrative safeguards to ensure CUI is properly secured, monitored, and reported, with a critical emphasis on extending compliance requirements downstream to subcontractors through appropriate flow-down clauses. This support will involve assessments, policy development, training, and ongoing mitigation strategy refinement to meet federal cybersecurity standards. Delivered under a subcontract awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency, the effort is tied to the NAICS code 541512, indicating it falls under computer systems design and related services. While specific performance locations and points of contact are not detailed, the work is intended to support DOD-wide cybersecurity objectives for handling sensitive but unclassified data. The contract is posted with a 2026 effective date, suggesting a future award window, and is designed to bolster the resilience of defense contractors against data breaches and non-compliance risks related to CUI exposure.
