Cybersecurity Compliance & NIST SP 800-171 Assessment

The contract requires the implementation of all NIST SP 800-171 security controls to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) within the contractor’s systems and processes, ensuring compliance with federal cybersecurity standards for organizations handling sensitive but unclassified data. The work must be performed to fully align with the requirements of the NIST framework, including administrative, technical, and physical controls, and must cover all aspects of CUI protection from data handling to access management and system monitoring. Success hinges on achieving a ready state for assessment under the System for Award Management’s Supply Chain Risk Management (SPARS) protocol, meaning the resulting documentation must be complete, accurate, and defensible in a formal evaluation. The subcontract is tied to the Department of Defense under the Medical Supply Chain FSH entity and falls under NAICS code 541512, indicating it involves computer systems design and related services. The solicitation was posted on July 23, 2026, with a strict response deadline of July 30, 2026, allowing a seven-day window for proposals. The place of performance and point of contact details are unspecified, but the work must be conducted in a manner that supports the broader defense supply chain security posture. The deliverable is not merely an implementation of controls but a fully documented, SPARS-ready assessment report that demonstrates compliance and readiness for official DOD scrutiny, making thorough documentation and audit trail integrity critical components of success.
