IT Security & Compliance Support Services

The contract seeks a subcontractor to provide IT security and compliance support services to the State Teachers’ Retirement System, commonly known as CalSTRS, in California. The primary focus is on implementing and maintaining the CalSTRS Minimum Information Security Requirements, with specific emphasis on access controls, data protection policies, and alignment with Exhibit J and relevant ISO standards. The work is expected to ensure that security controls meet statutory and regulatory expectations, safeguarding sensitive retirement data and systems against internal and external threats. Performance of the services will be conducted in Alameda, California, and the subcontract must comply with the NAICS code 541513, which classifies the work under Computer Systems Design Services. The solicitation was posted on June 17, 2026, with a response deadline of July 1, 2026, indicating a limited window for interested parties to submit proposals. The contract is structured as a subcontract, suggesting that the selected vendor will support a prime contractor or an internal division within CalSTRS rather than contracting directly with the agency. While no specific set-aside provisions are identified, the requirement demands a high level of technical expertise in cybersecurity frameworks and government compliance. There is no designated point of contact listed, and the place of performance is limited to Alameda, meaning the work is likely onsite or closely tied to CalSTRS’s operational environment in that location.
