Cybersecurity for Covered Defense Information (CDI) Safeguarding

The contract requires the implementation and ongoing maintenance of cybersecurity controls aligned with NIST SP 800-171 to protect Covered Defense Information (CDI) across manufacturing, quality, and logistics operations. These controls are critical to ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive defense-related data handled during production and supply chain activities. The subcontractor must establish and verify compliance with all applicable NIST requirements, including access controls, audit logging, incident response, and system and communications protection, to meet federal cybersecurity standards for handling CDI. The work is performed under the auspices of the Defense Logistics Agency, a component of the Department of Defense, and is tied to contract SPE4A726PB929. Although the specific location of performance is not detailed, the scope encompasses operational environments where CDI is processed or stored, requiring consistent adherence to security protocols regardless of site. The solicitation was posted in July 2026, indicating a forward-looking procurement aimed at securing defense-related supply chain functions, with no set-aside provisions specified. The NAICS code 541512 identifies the primary industry as computer systems design and related services, reflecting the technical nature of the cybersecurity support required.
