The contract requires full compliance with multiple cybersecurity and regulatory clauses, including 252.204-7012 and 252.204-7020, mandating implementation of NIST SP 800-171 controls and a DoD assessment of the contractor’s system security plan for safeguarding controlled unclassified information.
