NIST SP 800-171 Compliance for Contractor Information Systems

The contract requires the implementation and ongoing maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 security controls to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information on contractor information systems. This effort is mandated to ensure compliance with the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement cybersecurity requirements, which apply to all entities handling CUI on behalf of the Department of Defense. The work is performed as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency and is tied to the NAICS code 541512, indicating it involves computer systems design and related services focused on cybersecurity adherence. The contractor must establish, monitor, and continuously improve security measures aligned with NIST SP 800-171 to protect CUI from unauthorized access, disclosure, or compromise. Compliance is not a one-time activity but requires sustained effort including documentation, system assessments, incident reporting, and employee training. The contract is effective as of June 25, 2026, and performance will occur wherever the contractor’s systems support DoD operations, with no geographic limitations specified. Failure to maintain compliance may result in contract termination or financial penalties.
