Cybersecurity Compliance for Covered Defense Information (CDI)

The contractor is required to implement all NIST SP 800-171 security controls to protect Covered Defense Information (CDI) processed, stored, or transmitted on their systems, in full alignment with DFARS 252.204-7012 and associated contractual clauses. This mandate applies to all subcontractor systems handling CDI, regardless of location, and demands a rigorous posture of cybersecurity hygiene, including access controls, audit logging, incident response, and continuous monitoring. Compliance is not optional and must be documented and verifiable, with the contractor assuming responsibility for maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive defense data throughout its lifecycle on their infrastructure. The solicitation is issued as a subcontract under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the Medical Supply Chain MD Surg FSF, with performance required at APO 09227-0000. The NAICS code 541512 indicates the work involves computer systems design and related services, suggesting the contractor likely provides technical or IT support directly tied to defense operations. The response deadline is fixed for August 5, 2026, and failure to meet this deadline or demonstrate full adherence to NIST SP 800-171 requirements will result in disqualification. No set-aside provisions apply, making this opportunity open to any qualified entity capable of meeting the stringent cybersecurity obligations outlined in the contract.
