Cybersecurity Compliance for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)

The contract requires the implementation of NIST SP 800-171 security safeguards on information systems that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), in full alignment with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements. This subcontract is aimed at ensuring that all systems supporting the Medical Supply Chain MD Surg FSF meet rigorous federal cybersecurity standards to protect sensitive but unclassified data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification. Compliance is mandatory and must be fully executed by the performance deadline, with systems assessed for adherence to the 110 security controls outlined in NIST SP 800-171, covering areas such as access control, audit and accountability, configuration management, and incident response. The work is to be performed in support of a Department of Defense initiative, with the designated place of performance listed as FPO, zip code 09566-4008, indicating operations are likely conducted in a deployed or overseas military logistics environment. The North American Industry Classification System code 541512 confirms the scope involves computer systems design and related services, specifically focused on cybersecurity implementation and integration. Bidders must submit responses by July 21, 2026, and failure to meet the NIST 800-171 requirements will result in non-compliance with DFARS, potentially leading to contract termination or financial penalties. The effort is critical to maintaining the integrity of DoD supply chain data and ensuring continuity of secure medical logistics operations.
