Cybersecurity Compliance for Covered Defense Information

The contract requires the implementation and ongoing maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 security controls to protect covered defense information held or transmitted by the contractor. Compliance with these controls is mandatory to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data as defined under federal cybersecurity standards. The contractor must also adhere to DFARS cyber incident reporting requirements, which include promptly identifying, documenting, and reporting any security breaches or suspicious activities that could compromise covered defense information. This obligation extends to internal systems and third-party vendors handling such data, necessitating a robust and continuous cybersecurity posture across the entire supply chain. The work falls under the NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services and is structured as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, part of the Department of Defense. The performance location and point of contact details are unspecified, but the work is expected to support broader DOD cybersecurity objectives. The solicitation was posted in June 2026 and is accessible via a DIBBS portal link, indicating it is part of an official DOD contracting process. Continuous monitoring, documentation, and audit readiness are implied as essential components of contract fulfillment.
