Cybersecurity Compliance – NIST SP 800-171 Assessment & CUI Safeguarding

The contract requires full implementation and documentation of NIST SP 800-171 controls to protect Covered Defense Information and ensure compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012, specifically targeting the safeguarding of Controlled Unclassified Information within the contractor’s systems. This subcontract is tied to the Department of Defense at Warner Robins Air Force Base, with performance requirements centered at Robins AFB, Georgia, 31098-1887, and must be completed within a tight window between the posting date of July 20, 2026, and the response deadline of July 31, 2026. The scope demands a thorough assessment of existing cybersecurity posture, alignment with NIST’s 110 required security controls, and comprehensive evidence documentation to demonstrate adherence to federal cybersecurity standards for defense contractors handling sensitive information. The work falls under NAICS code 541512, indicating it involves computer systems design and related services, and is structured as a subcontract within the broader DOD procurement ecosystem. Compliance is non-negotiable and must be rigorously proven through policies, procedures, system configurations, personnel training records, and continuous monitoring practices that meet the full scope of NIST SP 800-171. Failure to achieve full compliance will result in non-award, and the contractor must be prepared to operate within the DOD’s stringent cybersecurity framework with no flexibility in applying controls. All activities must be performed in direct support of securing CDI at the specified place of performance, with accountability resting entirely on the submitting organization.
