Information Systems Safeguarding (Basic Cybersecurity Controls)

This contract requires the implementation and maintenance of foundational cybersecurity protections for information systems that process, store, or transmit federal data, ensuring alignment with NIST SP 800-171 standards and FAR 52.240-93 requirements. The focus is on establishing essential security controls to safeguard controlled unclassified information against unauthorized access, disclosure, or compromise, with an emphasis on systemic compliance rather than advanced or specialized measures. Contractors must demonstrate the ability to sustain these controls over time through documented policies, procedures, and ongoing monitoring. The contract is issued as a subcontract under the General Services Administration’s PBS Office of Leasing, with a NAICS code of 541512 indicating it relates to computer systems design services. Performance is expected to occur in Fort Worth, Texas, and responses are due by July 17, 2026. While no set-aside classification is specified, the opportunity is open to general contractors capable of meeting federal cybersecurity baseline requirements. Compliance is mandatory and non-negotiable, with failure to adhere to the referenced standards potentially resulting in contract termination or financial penalties.
