Cybersecurity Compliance and CUI Protection Support

This contract entails the implementation and ongoing maintenance of security controls mandated by NIST Special Publication 800-171 to safeguard contract-related controlled unclassified information across systems managed by the subcontractor. The work is focused on ensuring full compliance with federal requirements designed to protect sensitive but unclassified data handled in support of Defense Logistics Agency operations, with all security measures aligned to mitigate risks associated with unauthorized access, disclosure, or compromise. The subcontractor is responsible for establishing, monitoring, and continuously improving these controls to meet evolving cybersecurity standards and maintain regulatory adherence. The effort is performed under the NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services and is positioned as a subcontract within the Department of Defense acquisition framework. While specific locations for performance are not defined, the work must be executed in a manner that ensures secure handling and processing of CUI regardless of physical or virtual infrastructure used. The contract emphasizes sustained compliance rather than one-time implementation, requiring proactive detection, documentation, and remediation of control deficiencies throughout the lifecycle of the supporting systems. The subcontract is linked to a broader DLA contract and is intended to reinforce the defense supply chain’s cybersecurity posture against persistent threats targeting unclassified but sensitive information.
