Cybersecurity Compliance and CUI Protection

The contract entails the implementation and ongoing maintenance of cybersecurity controls mandated by NIST Special Publication 800-171 for systems that process, store, or transmit Controlled Unclassified Information related to order, inventory, and reporting functions. These systems are critical to operational readiness and supply chain integrity, requiring strict adherence to confidentiality, integrity, and availability standards defined under the regulation. The work will involve assessing current security postures, identifying gaps, deploying technical and administrative safeguards, conducting continuous monitoring, and ensuring audit readiness for compliance verification. This subcontract is issued under the Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency and falls under NAICS code 541512, indicating its focus on computer systems design services. The scope encompasses not only initial deployment of required controls but also sustained efforts to remediate vulnerabilities, update policies, train personnel, and respond to security incidents in alignment with federal requirements. While the place of performance and point of contact are not specified, the contract emphasizes nationwide or enterprise-level application across defense logistics environments, ensuring uniform protection of CUI regardless of system location or infrastructure.
