Cybersecurity Compliance for Covered Defense Information

This contract requires the implementation of NIST SP 800-171 security controls to safeguard covered defense information in accordance with DFARS 252.204-7012, ensuring that all necessary safeguards are in place to protect sensitive data handled under Department of Defense contracts. The successful bidder must demonstrate full compliance with these standards, including the ability to prepare for and potentially submit to a DOD assessment, which may involve documenting control implementation, conducting risk assessments, and maintaining audit-ready records. The requirement is scoped as a subcontract under NAICS code 541512, indicating that the work involves computer systems design and related services tailored to defense cybersecurity needs. The contract is posted under the Department of Defense’s Subsistence FSE Supply Chain office with a place of performance designated as FPO, 09573, suggesting operations will support military logistics or supply chain functions in a deployed or overseas environment. The solicitation closed on August 3, 2026, and while no specific set-aside status is indicated, the urgency and specificity of the cybersecurity requirements imply that only qualified entities with proven experience in NIST and DFARS compliance will be competitive. The lack of a designated point of contact suggests that all inquiries and submissions must follow standard DIBBS procurement protocols through the provided online interface.
