Cybersecurity Compliance for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)

The contract requires comprehensive cybersecurity compliance support to ensure adherence to NIST SP 800-171 standards for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information within non-federal systems, as mandated by DFARS 252.240-7997. This includes the development and maintenance of a System Security Plan and a Plan of Action and Milestones, both critical for documenting security controls, identifying gaps, and implementing corrective measures to safeguard CUI. The work is tied to a subcontract under the Department of Defense, with performance centered in Greensboro, North Carolina, at the ZIP code 27409, and must be completed in alignment with the broader objectives of securing sensitive data across the defense supply chain. The solicitation, posted on July 5, 2026, with a response deadline of July 16, 2026, falls under NAICS code 541512, indicating it pertains to computer systems design services. Though no specific set-aside designation is listed, the contract is explicitly categorized as a subcontract, meaning it is intended to support a prime contractor fulfilling broader DOD cybersecurity obligations. The absence of a point of contact and detailed agency office information suggests the procurement is managed through standardized DIBBS channels, with all formal interactions handled via the provided online portal. Compliance with NIST 800-171 is not optional—it is a contractual requirement with direct implications for contract award and continued performance.
