Cybersecurity Compliance & CUI Safeguarding Services

The contract mandates the implementation and ongoing maintenance of cybersecurity controls aligned with NIST SP 800-171 to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) on contractor systems, ensuring full compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements. This effort is critical to protecting sensitive government data stored, processed, or transmitted through contractor environments and requires the establishment of all 110 control families specified in the NIST standard, including access control, awareness and training, audit and accountability, configuration management, identification and authentication, media protection, personnel security, physical protection, risk assessment, system and communications protection, and system and information integrity. The work is being conducted under a subcontract awarded 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 occur within the scope of the contractor's existing IT infrastructure and must demonstrate continuous compliance through documented policies, procedures, and technical safeguards. The contract requires proactive monitoring, periodic assessments, incident response readiness, and the ability to demonstrate audit-ready documentation to validate adherence to federal cybersecurity standards. No specific geographical limitations are indicated, but compliance must be maintained regardless of where contractor systems are located or operated.
