Cybersecurity Compliance & CUI Management

The contract requires the implementation and ongoing maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 security controls across all systems that handle Controlled Unclassified Information, ensuring robust protection of sensitive data in accordance with federal cybersecurity standards. This includes establishing policies and procedures for the detection, reporting, and response to cybersecurity incidents involving CUI, as well as ensuring that all subcontractors and third parties involved in the work comply with the same stringent requirements. Compliance is not a one-time effort but an active, continuous process that demands regular audits, monitoring, and documentation to maintain adherence throughout the contract lifecycle. The work is performed under a subcontract issued by the Defense Logistics Agency, a component of the Department of Defense, and falls under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. Performance is expected to support operational readiness and regulatory compliance across DoD-related activities, though the specific location of performance is not defined. The contractor must maintain full accountability for CUI handling, from initial system configuration to incident resolution and vendor oversight, ensuring that all aspects of the cybersecurity framework align with federal mandates and DoD expectations.
