Cybersecurity Compliance Support (NIST SP 800-171)

The contract requires support to assist the prime contractor in achieving and maintaining compliance with NIST SP 800-171 standards for the protection of controlled unclassified information, as mandated by DFARS clauses. This effort is critical to ensuring that all cybersecurity controls are properly implemented, monitored, and documented to safeguard CUI throughout the contract lifecycle. The scope encompasses comprehensive cybersecurity program development, gap assessments, policy and procedure alignment, employee training, and ongoing audit readiness to meet federal requirements. Performance is centered at Tinker Air Force Base with a response deadline of July 31, 2026, and the solicitation falls under NAICS code 541611 for management consulting services. This is a subcontract engagement under the Department of Defense’s Fluid Handling Division, with no set-aside classification indicated. Success requires intimate familiarity with NIST SP 800-171 controls, DFARS cybersecurity requirements, and the ability to integrate compliance measures into existing operational frameworks without disrupting mission-critical functions. Continuous verification and reporting mechanisms will be essential to sustain compliance status beyond initial implementation.
