Cybersecurity Compliance & Incident Reporting Support

The contract requires implementation and ongoing maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 compliance standards to safeguard controlled unclassified information within the defense industrial base. This includes establishing, documenting, and sustaining the necessary administrative, technical, and physical controls aligned with the framework to ensure continuous cybersecurity posture. The contractor must also deploy robust monitoring systems to detect, analyze, and respond to cyber incidents in real time, with a mandatory obligation to report any confirmed breaches to DIBNET within 72 hours of discovery. Compliance is not a one-time effort but an active, continuous process requiring regular audits, updates to security controls, and timely documentation to meet federal requirements. The work is performed as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, part of the Department of Defense, and falls under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. Performance of the contract is not tied to a specific physical location, allowing flexibility in execution while maintaining adherence to federal security mandates. The contractor is expected to operate with high reliability and precision, as failure to report breaches within the stipulated timeframe or to maintain compliant controls could result in regulatory penalties, loss of contract eligibility, or compromise of sensitive defense data. All activities must support the broader mission of securing the defense supply chain against evolving cyber threats.
