Cybersecurity Compliance and NIST SP 800-171 Support

The contract entitled Cybersecurity Compliance and NIST SP 800-171 Support requires the provision of advisory or managed services to ensure systems handling covered defense information meet the requirements of NIST Special Publication 800-171 Revision 2. This includes conducting comprehensive assessments of existing security controls, identifying gaps, and implementing corrective actions to achieve full compliance. The contractor will also be responsible for preparing and submitting variance requests when full compliance cannot be immediately achieved, ensuring all deviations are properly documented, justified, and approved through the appropriate channels. The scope is focused exclusively on systems that process, store, or transmit covered defense information, with an emphasis on maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive data as mandated by Department of Defense standards. This is a subcontract under the NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services, posted on May 7, 2026 with a response deadline of May 27, 2026 at 8:30 PM. The contracting office is the Navsup Weapon Systems Support Mech under the Department of Defense, and while the specific place of performance is not detailed, services may be performed wherever the covered systems are located. The work requires deep expertise in NIST 800-171 Rev. 2 frameworks, experience with DoD compliance protocols, and the ability to work closely with classified environments to document, assess, and remediate security postures without disrupting operations. All deliverables must align with federal cybersecurity mandates and support the DoD’s objective to protect sensitive information across its supply chain and contractor networks.
