This includes rigorous system hardening measures, strict access control policies, comprehensive audit logging, and continuous monitoring to detect and respond to potential security incidents. All activities must ensure compliance with federal standards for protecting CUI, with a focus on reducing vulnerabilities and maintaining operational resilience in a dynamic threat environment. The work is being conducted under a subcontract with the Defense Logistics Agency, part of the Department of Defense, and falls under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. The contract was posted on July 20, 2026, and performance is expected to support national defense objectives, though the specific place of performance is not designated. Compliance with NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 is mandatory, and failure to implement or sustain required controls could result in contractual noncompliance, data exposure, or termination.
