Cybersecurity Compliance Support for Supply Chain (Non-IT)

The contract supports a subcontractor in achieving and maintaining compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 252.204-7012 requirements for the protection of controlled unclassified information within the defense supply chain. The effort focuses on non-IT operational areas, ensuring that cybersecurity controls are properly implemented across physical, administrative, and procedural domains to safeguard sensitive data handled by the subcontractor. This includes establishing policies, conducting risk assessments, training personnel, and implementing technical safeguards that align with federal cybersecurity standards for handling controlled unclassified information. The subcontractor must also be prepared to detect, report, and respond to cyber incidents in accordance with DFARS requirements, ensuring timely communication of potential breaches to the appropriate authorities. The work is conducted under the auspices of the Defense Logistics Agency within the Department of Defense, with the NAICS code 541611 indicating alignment with management, scientific, and technical consulting services. The performance of the services is not tied to a specific geographic location, reflecting the nature of compliance support that can be delivered remotely or across multiple facilities. The contract emphasizes enduring compliance rather than one-time assessment, requiring ongoing monitoring, documentation, and adaptation to evolving threats and regulatory expectations.
