Cybersecurity Compliance (CMMC/NIST SP 800-171) Implementation

The contract requires the implementation and documentation of NIST SP 800-171 security controls to achieve compliance for a CMMC Level 2 assessment, focusing on critical cybersecurity domains such as system hardening, access control, and cyber incident reporting as mandated by DFARS 252.204-7012. The work involves aligning existing systems and processes with the full set of NIST controls, ensuring that technical and administrative safeguards are properly configured, tested, and recorded to meet the rigorous standards required for handling controlled unclassified information. The contractor must demonstrate operational readiness for an independent CMMC assessment by providing comprehensive documentation and evidence of compliance across all applicable control families. Performance is to be conducted at the designated location in Anniston, Alabama, with a submission deadline of August 10, 2026, and an emphasis on timely delivery of fully documented cybersecurity posture improvements. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services, and it is issued by the Department of Defense’s Active Devices Division. The engagement demands a structured approach to cybersecurity implementation with clear deliverables that directly support the government’s objective of achieving and maintaining CMMC Level 2 certification within a defined timeline.
