Cybersecurity Compliance (NIST SP 800-171)

The contract requires the implementation and assessment of cybersecurity controls to safeguard covered defense information in accordance with NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 252.204-7012, ensuring that all required safeguards are properly configured, documented, and verified. The work is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the Electrical Devices Division, with performance expected to occur in Tracy, California, at the specified ZIP code. Compliance with the NIST framework is mandatory, encompassing the full scope of requirements for protecting controlled unclassified information within nonfederal systems. Assessment activities will include validating that all 110 security controls are appropriately applied and maintained, with documentation demonstrating continuous alignment with federal cybersecurity standards. The solicitation is open for responses until July 20, 2026, and was posted on July 9, 2026, indicating a relatively short but defined window for submission. The NAICS code 541512 classifies the work under Computer Systems Design and Related Services, suggesting the contractor must possess technical expertise in cybersecurity architecture, risk management, and compliance validation. There is no set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity is open to all eligible entities regardless of business size or status. Successful bidders will be expected to deliver not only implementation of technical controls but also evidence of readiness for audits or assessments by government representatives, with the ultimate goal of ensuring secure handling of sensitive defense information throughout the contract lifecycle.
