NIST SP 800-171 Cybersecurity Compliance Support

The contract requires the implementation and ongoing maintenance of NIST SP 800-171 security controls to safeguard covered defense information in accordance with DFARS 252.204-7012 requirements. This includes establishing robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive data, ensuring continuous compliance with the specified framework, and enabling timely and accurate reporting of any cyber incidents that may compromise the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of the information. The effort is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541512, indicating it involves computer systems design and related services supporting the Department of Defense. Compliance is not a one-time activity but demands sustained operational discipline, regular audits, and readiness to respond to security events as mandated by federal regulations. The solicitation was posted on April 28, 2026, with a response deadline of May 4, 2026, and is accessible through the DIBBS platform under solicitation number SPE3SE26Q0253. The contracting organization, Subsistence FSE Supply Chain, operates under the broader structure of the Department of Defense, underscoring the critical nature of the cybersecurity requirements tied to defense supply chain integrity. No set-aside provisions or location-specific performance details are provided, suggesting the work may be performed remotely or across multiple sites with emphasis on technical compliance rather than geographic constraints. The successful contractor must demonstrate proven experience in NIST 800-171 implementation and cyber incident reporting mechanisms to meet the stringent standards expected in defense contracting.
