Export-Controlled and CUI Compliance Support

The contract requires support for achieving and maintaining compliance with NIST SP 800-171 standards for the handling of Controlled Unclassified Information within a Department of Defense supply chain environment. This includes implementing and validating security controls to protect CUI, conducting readiness assessments, and providing corrective action plans to ensure ongoing compliance. Additionally, advisory services must be delivered for the proper management of export-controlled items governed by DFARS clauses, ensuring adherence to international traffic in arms regulations and defense trade compliance protocols. The work involves close coordination with defense contractors to align security practices with federal requirements and mitigate risks associated with unauthorized disclosure or mishandling of sensitive data. The task is structured as a subcontract under the NAICS code 541611, focusing on management consulting services tailored to national security and defense regulations. The solicitation was posted on July 20, 2026, with responses due by July 31, 2026, and the performance location is tied to the Land Supply Chain organization within the Department of Defense. While no specific city or state is designated for performance, the work will likely involve remote and on-site consultation across multiple defense contractors and subcontractors handling CUI or export-controlled technical data. The scope demands deep regulatory expertise in both cybersecurity frameworks and defense export controls, with an emphasis on practical implementation, documentation, and audit readiness.
