Cybersecurity Compliance for CUI Handling (NIST SP 800-171)

The contract requires the implementation and comprehensive documentation of NIST SP 800-171 security controls across all systems handling Controlled Unclassified Information, ensuring full compliance with federal cybersecurity standards. This includes the development of a System Security Plan that details the configuration, management, and monitoring of controls designed to protect CUI, as well as the establishment of robust incident reporting procedures to detect, respond to, and document security events in a timely and compliant manner. All work must be performed at the specified location in Palm Bay, Florida, with a strict deadline for submission on May 28, 2026. This is a small business set-aside subcontract under FAR 19.5, meaning only firms certified as total small businesses by the SBA are eligible to respond, with the NAICS code 541512 identifying the work as computer systems design and related services. The contracting activity originates from the Department of Defense through SPRMM1 DLA Mechanicsburg, indicating the requirement supports defense-related operations under CUI handling obligations. Failure to meet the specified controls or documentation requirements could result in non-compliance penalties and loss of contract eligibility, making precise adherence to NIST SP 800-171 guidelines critical to successful performance.
