Cybersecurity Compliance Implementation

The contract requires the implementation and ongoing maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 security controls across all systems that process, store, or transmit covered defense information. Compliance with these safeguards is mandatory and must be aligned with the requirements of DFARS 252.204-7012, which includes conducting regular assessments to validate the effectiveness of implemented protections and promptly reporting any cyber incidents that impact covered information. The obligation extends beyond initial setup to include continuous monitoring, documentation, and adaptation to evolving threats to ensure sustained compliance. Work must be performed at the designated location in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with zip code 17070-5002, and the contractor is expected to adhere to all federal cybersecurity standards applicable to defense contractors. This is a subcontract under the Department of Defense, specifically tied to LSO COMBAT VEHICLES AND ARMAMENT, and falls under the NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. The opportunity was posted on July 16, 2026, with a response deadline of July 27, 2026, indicating a relatively short window for proposal submission. The procurement is not subject to any specific set-aside designation, and while no point of contact is listed, all inquiries and submissions must be made through the provided DIBBS platform link. Successful bidders will be responsible for establishing and maintaining a verifiable cybersecurity posture that meets DoD expectations without the need for formal certification, but with full accountability for incident response and compliance documentation.
