The contract requires the implementation and ongoing maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 security controls across all systems that process, store, or transmit covered defense information. This includes the development and continuous updating of a System Security Plan to document how the controls are applied, monitored, and enforced. The contractor must ensure full compliance with the requirements designed to protect controlled unclassified information and must establish robust procedures for detecting, reporting, and responding to cybersecurity incidents in accordance with federal guidelines. All activities must align with the Department of Defense’s expectations for safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining operational resilience. The contract is structured as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, which falls under the broader Department of Defense, and is classified under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. The work is expected to be performed in support of defense-related operations, though specific geographic performance locations are not defined. The contract was posted on August 9, 2026, and is tied to a broader procurement framework with the identifier SPE8EN26D0001 and delivery order SPE8EN26F3564. Compliance with these cybersecurity standards is not optional and represents the core obligation of the subcontractor, with potential consequences for failure to meet reporting or control requirements.
