Cybersecurity Compliance for Covered Defense Information

The contract requires the implementation and ongoing maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 safeguards to protect covered defense information within the contractor’s systems. This includes conducting thorough system assessments to verify compliance, maintaining comprehensive documentation of security controls and procedures, and establishing robust incident reporting protocols to promptly notify relevant parties of any breaches or vulnerabilities. All activities must align strictly with the technical and procedural standards outlined in NIST SP 800-171 to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive defense data. The work is to be performed under a subcontract structure as part of a larger Department of Defense initiative managed by the Strategic Acquisition Program Directorate. The solicitation is classified under NAICS code 541512 for Computer Systems Design Services and is open for responses until July 29, 2026. There is no set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity is open to all eligible contractors regardless of size or status. The performance location and point of contact details are unspecified, but the work is tied to federal defense systems under the purview of the Department of Defense. Contractors must be prepared to demonstrate full compliance with cybersecurity requirements and provide verifiable evidence of their ability to sustain NIST SP 800-171 controls over time.
