Cybersecurity Compliance (CUI Safeguarding & Incident Reporting)

The contract requires the implementation and ongoing maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 controls to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information within the Defense Logistics Agency’s supply chain environment. This includes establishing technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to ensure CUI is protected against unauthorized access, disclosure, or compromise, as well as conducting regular assessments to verify compliance with the specified security requirements. The contractor must also establish and maintain processes for timely incident detection, reporting, and response in alignment with federal mandates, ensuring all security breaches involving CUI are promptly identified and escalated to the appropriate authorities. Work under this subcontract must be performed in support of Department of Defense operations, with compliance tied to NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. The solicitation was posted on May 31, 2026, and responses are due by June 11, 2026, with performance likely centered on securing information systems that handle CUI across DLA’s logistics networks. The contract emphasizes continuous compliance, not just initial implementation, requiring active monitoring, audit readiness, and adaptation to evolving threat landscapes. Failure to meet these requirements could result in non-compliance penalties, contract termination, or loss of eligibility for future DOD work involving CUI.
