Cybersecurity Compliance (NIST SP 800-171)

The contract requires the implementation and assessment of cybersecurity controls to ensure compliance with NIST SP 800-171 standards for safeguarding controlled unclassified information (CUI) within non-federal systems. This subcontract is issued by the ASC Commodities Division under the Department of Defense and is specifically targeted toward securing CUI handled by contractors operating outside of federal networks. The work must be performed at a specified location in Tracy, California, with a zip code of 95304-5000, and all cybersecurity measures must align precisely with the technical and procedural requirements outlined in NIST SP 800-171 to mitigate risks to sensitive information. The solicitation was posted on August 2, 2026, with responses due by August 10, 2026, indicating a tight turnaround for proposers to demonstrate readiness in deploying validated security controls. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541512 identifies this effort as falling within computer systems design services, emphasizing the need for technical expertise in cybersecurity architecture, policy enforcement, and continuous assessment. There is no set-aside designation specified, suggesting the opportunity is open to all qualified subcontractors. The successful bidder will be responsible not only for implementing the necessary safeguards but also for documenting and proving compliance through formal assessments to meet federal protection mandates for CUI.
