Cybersecurity Compliance and CUI Handling Support

The contract requires the implementation and ongoing maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 compliance to safeguard Covered Defense Information, ensuring robust cybersecurity controls are in place across all operational processes. This includes establishing procedures for the secure handling, storage, and transmission of Controlled Unclassified Information, as well as fulfilling mandatory incident reporting obligations in the event of a cybersecurity breach or compromise. The contractor must also ensure that any downstream subcontractors adhere to the same compliance standards through effective flow-down requirements, maintaining end-to-end alignment with federal cybersecurity mandates. All activities under this subcontract are tied to the Defense Logistics Agency and fall under the Department of Defense’s broader mission to protect sensitive defense information. The work is classified under NAICS code 541512, indicating it involves computer systems design and related services focused on cybersecurity infrastructure. Compliance is not a one-time effort but requires continuous monitoring, documentation, and adaptation to evolving threats and regulatory updates. The contractor is expected to operate in full alignment with DLA’s expectations for accountability, transparency, and risk mitigation when handling sensitive government data.
