NIST SP 800-171 Cybersecurity Compliance & System Security Planning

The contract requires the development, implementation, and ongoing maintenance of a System Security Plan aligned with NIST SP 800-171 standards to ensure the protection of controlled unclassified information within Department of Defense systems. This includes establishing and enforcing security controls, documenting policies and procedures, and integrating them into operational workflows to meet federal cybersecurity requirements. The contractor must conduct regular self-assessments of the implemented security controls, document findings, and submit comprehensive results to the Supplier Performance Risk System to demonstrate compliance with DoD cybersecurity mandates. All activities must be performed in support of the Defense Logistics Agency under a subcontract arrangement classified under NAICS code 541330, indicating the work revolves around computer systems design and related services. The plan must be dynamically maintained to reflect changes in the IT environment, threats, or regulatory updates, ensuring continuous adherence to NIST guidelines. Failure to accurately report assessment outcomes or maintain compliance could result in performance penalties or loss of eligibility for future DoD contracts. The scope is focused on sustaining a secure, auditable, and reportable cybersecurity posture throughout the contract lifecycle.
