Cybersecurity Compliance & Incident Reporting (NIST SP 800-171 Implementation)

The contract entails the implementation and ongoing maintenance of cybersecurity controls aligned with NIST SP 800-171 to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) within systems operated by the subcontracted entity. This includes establishing, documenting, and enforcing technical, administrative, and physical safeguards required to protect CUI from unauthorized access, disclosure, or compromise. The contractor is responsible for ensuring continuous compliance with all 110 security controls outlined in the NIST standard, conducting regular assessments, and maintaining accurate records to demonstrate adherence. In addition to proactive security measures, the contract mandates prompt detection, reporting, and response to cyber incidents, requiring real-time communication with federal authorities and adherence to prescribed incident reporting timelines and methodologies. The work is classified as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, part of the Department of Defense, and is governed by NAICS code 541512, indicating it relates to computer systems design and related services. Performance is expected to meet federal cybersecurity standards without geographic restrictions specified, implying the contractor may operate remotely or across multiple locations provided compliance is maintained. The contract’s duration and funding levels are not detailed, but its focus on sustained compliance and incident response indicates a long-term operational obligation rather than a one-time implementation. All activities must align with DoD requirements and be conducted in a manner that ensures the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of CUI throughout its lifecycle.
