Cybersecurity Compliance for Covered Defense Information (CDI)

The contract requires full implementation of NIST Special Publication 800-171 security controls to safeguard Covered Defense Information and ongoing compliance with the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement clause 252.204-7012, which mandates timely reporting of cyber incidents affecting federal contract information. All security measures must be systematically applied across systems handling CDI, ensuring configuration management, access control, audit logging, incident response, and continuous monitoring align with federal cybersecurity standards. Compliance is not a one-time task but an ongoing obligation requiring documentation, validation, and readiness for assessment. This subcontract is issued under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services and is performance-based at the New Cumberland facility with ZIP code 17070-5002. The posting date indicates the solicitation was made in July 2026 with responses due in early August 2026, suggesting a targeted procurement window for organizations prepared to meet rigorous DoD cybersecurity expectations. The responsible agency is the Department of Defense through the DDSP New Cumberland Facility, and bidders must demonstrate proven technical capability, established processes for incident reporting, and the infrastructure to sustain compliance throughout the contract lifecycle without reliance on third-party certifications unless explicitly permitted.
