Cybersecurity Compliance & CUI Safeguarding Support

The contract requires comprehensive cybersecurity implementation to ensure full compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012 and NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2, focusing on the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information. This includes establishing and maintaining robust security controls across systems and networks that handle CUI, implementing incident response planning to quickly detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats, and ensuring continuous adherence to federal cybersecurity standards. The work is scoped as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, part of the Department of Defense, and must be performed in alignment with the technical and procedural requirements outlined in NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 to safeguard sensitive defense information. The scope extends beyond technical implementation to include operational readiness for cybersecurity incidents, requiring documented processes for reporting breaches, mitigating risks, and integrating remediation activities that meet defense industry compliance benchmarks. All activities must be executed within the framework of NAICS code 541512, which categorizes the work under computer systems design and related services. The contract is tied to a specific DLA subcontract identifier and requires strict enforcement of security protocols across the entire lifecycle of CUI handling, from storage and transmission to disposal, ensuring data integrity, confidentiality, and availability throughout the support period.
