Cybersecurity Compliance for CUI (NIST SP 800-171)

The contract requires the implementation and thorough documentation of cybersecurity safeguards as outlined in NIST Special Publication 800-171 to protect Controlled Unclassified Information handled by systems involved in design, manufacturing, and administrative functions. This effort is focused on ensuring full compliance with federal security standards for systems that process, store, or transmit sensitive but unclassified data related to defense-related activities. The work must be conducted at the designated performance location in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, zip code 17070-5002, and must align with the North American Industry Classification System code 541512 for computer systems design services. This is a subcontract opportunity under the Department of Defense’s Electrical Devices Division, with a response deadline of July 20, 2026, and a posting date of July 9, 2026. The scope demands not only the technical execution of required security controls but also the creation of detailed documentation to demonstrate adherence to NIST SP 800-171 requirements. Compliance is critical to maintaining eligibility for future defense contracts and ensuring the integrity of CUI throughout the lifecycle of the associated systems. All activities must be carried out in accordance with federal cybersecurity mandates without any set-aside provisions, and participation is expected from contractors capable of delivering both technical implementation and audit-ready documentation.
