Cybersecurity Compliance and NIST SP 800-171 Assessment Support

The contract seeks comprehensive cybersecurity compliance support to ensure adherence to NIST SP 800-171 standards for both prime contractors and subcontractors operating under the Medical Supply Chain MD Surg FSF program. Services include system hardening to reduce vulnerabilities, conduct thorough assessments of current security controls, and prepare and submit System Security Plan Reports (SPRS) to demonstrate compliance with federal cybersecurity requirements. The work is aligned with NAICS code 541512, indicating it falls under computer systems design and related services, and is positioned as a subcontract opportunity within the Department of Defense ecosystem. Performance will be executed remotely with a FPO address as the place of performance, suggesting the work can be performed virtually across locations, though all deliverables must meet the stringent defense cybersecurity framework. The solicitation is open with a firm deadline for responses on May 5, 2026, and is designed to support the secure handling of controlled unclassified information throughout the supply chain. Vendors must be prepared to demonstrate expertise in NIST 800-171 implementation, assessment methodologies, and SPRS reporting processes specific to defense subcontractors. The contract does not specify a set-aside classification, indicating it is open to all qualified entities regardless of size or minority status. All efforts must align with the broader Department of Defense mandate to maintain a resilient and compliant cybersecurity posture across its contracted support networks.
