Cybersecurity Compliance and Incident Reporting

The contract requires full implementation and ongoing maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity controls to protect controlled unclassified information within federal systems. It mandates prompt reporting of any cyber incidents to the appropriate government authorities within 72 hours of discovery, ensuring timely response and mitigation. The contractor must also provide full support for forensic analysis when requested, including preservation of evidence, access to systems, and collaboration with investigative teams to determine the scope and impact of security breaches. These obligations are driven by the requirements of DFARS 252.204-7012 and 7014, aligning the contractor’s cybersecurity practices with Department of Defense standards. The contract is classified as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, part of the Department of Defense, and falls under NAICS code 541612, indicating it involves computer systems design and related services. Performance is expected to support DLA’s mission-critical operations, though the precise location of performance is not specified. The solicitation was posted in July 2026 and links to a DIBBS award record, suggesting it is part of a broader procurement effort. Compliance with these cybersecurity mandates is essential for contract fulfillment and may impact eligibility for future work with DoD entities.
