Cybersecurity Compliance & NIST SP 800-171 Assessment Support

The contract requires third-party support to ensure cybersecurity compliance with NIST SP 800-171 requirements for both prime contractors and their subcontractors, focusing on the assessment process, System for Award Management (SPRS) submissions, and the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information. The scope includes helping entities navigate the technical and administrative tasks necessary to achieve and maintain compliance, such as conducting gap analyses, documenting security controls, preparing accurate SPRS ratings, and implementing appropriate measures to safeguard CUI across the supply chain. This support is critical for meeting federal cybersecurity mandates and maintaining eligibility for Department of Defense contracts. The work is performed under a subcontract tied to Defense Logistics Agency procurement activity, governed by NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. Compliance with these standards is mandatory for all parties involved in DLA-related projects, and the contractor must deliver consistent, accurate, and timely assistance to ensure continuous adherence to federal cybersecurity frameworks. Performance is expected to be agile and responsive, accommodating the evolving needs of multiple subcontractors across various operational environments, with no geographic restrictions specified for the place of performance.
