Cybersecurity Compliance for CUI Protection

The contract requires full implementation of NIST SP 800-171 security controls and compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012 to protect Controlled Unclassified Information throughout all aspects of performance under DLA contracts. This subcontract mandates the establishment of a robust cybersecurity framework aligned with federal standards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of CUI handled during contract execution. Compliance must be demonstrated through documented policies, access controls, audit capabilities, system hardening, and continuous monitoring practices as defined by the specified regulations. Performance is expected at the New Cumberland location with zip code 17070-5002, and all cybersecurity measures must be operational by the response deadline of August 3, 2026. The North American Industry Classification System code 541512 indicates this work falls under computer systems design services, suggesting the contractor will be responsible for integrating and maintaining technical safeguards rather than simply deploying off-the-shelf tools. The Department of Defense through its DDSP New Cumberland Facility is the overseeing agency, and successful fulfillment of this subcontract is essential for any entity seeking to handle CUI within DLA’s supply chain or support operations.
