Cybersecurity Compliance for CUI Handling

The contract requires the implementation and assessment of NIST SP 800-171 security controls to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information within contractor systems, ensuring full compliance with federal cybersecurity standards for handling sensitive but unclassified data. The work is scoped as a subcontract under the Department of Defense’s Active Devices Division, with performance specifically tied to New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, at the ZIP code 17070-5002. All necessary cybersecurity measures must be fully deployed, tested, and documented to meet the required NIST framework, with an emphasis on continuous assessment and remediation of vulnerabilities. The solicitation was posted on July 23, 2026, and responses are due by August 3, 2026, leaving a narrow window for submission. The NAICS code 541512 indicates this is related to computer systems design services, aligning with the technical nature of the cybersecurity implementation and assessment tasks. There is no set-aside designation, meaning the contract is open to all qualified entities. The work must be completed in alignment with DoD expectations for securing CUI, and failure to meet the NIST controls could result in non-compliance, contract termination, or loss of future business opportunities with federal agencies.
