Cybersecurity Compliance and CUI Safeguarding

The contract pertains to ensuring cybersecurity compliance with NIST SP 800-171 standards for subcontractors handling controlled unclassified information, requiring full support in assessment, documentation, and implementation of required security controls. The work is focused on safeguarding CUI across the supply chain, with the contractor expected to deliver tailored, verifiable security measures that meet federal requirements. Performance is to take place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a specific zip code indicating the physical location of operations, and the effort is classified as a subcontract under the NAICS code 541611, which corresponds to management consulting services, emphasizing advisory and implementation activities rather than direct manufacturing or logistical functions. The solicitation was posted on June 25, 2026, with responses due by July 6, 2026, indicating a narrow window for submission and evaluation. The contracting agency is the Department of Defense under the LAND SUPPLY CHAIN organization, pointing to a defense logistics or munitions-related supply chain context where CUI protection is critical. There is no set-aside designation provided, meaning the opportunity is open to all eligible subcontractors regardless of size or veteran status. All work must align precisely with NIST 800-171 controls, covering areas such as access control, audit, configuration management, identification and authentication, and incident response, and must be thoroughly documented to demonstrate compliance to federal auditors.
