The effort supports strict compliance with classified handling protocols and Controlled Unclassified Information protection standards, ensuring alignment with NIST SP 800-53 for security assessments and deliverables. The contract has a five-year potential duration, commencing approximately September 1, 2026, with a one-year base period, four one-year options, and a potential six-month extension, for a total of 60 months plus additional flexibility. Performance is centered in Washington, D.C., with nationwide and international coverage mandated across all DIA sites and operational theaters. Line items are structured to address CONUS onsite, CONUS offsite, OCONUS, surge capacity, and optional services, enabling responsive scaling to emergent threats. A mandatory small business participation commitment is embedded to fulfill socioeconomic objectives while maintaining the agency’s zero-fail security posture. All call orders will define their own acceptance criteria, deliverables, and contract types, ensuring flexibility in execution without compromising control. The procurement is conducted under NAICS code 928110 with additional qualifying codes, administered by the Virginia Contracting Activity, and the solicitation number is DF-0001-26. The total contract value is redacted, and no specific packaging, inspection, or payment details are provided beyond the overarching framework of integrated, cleared labor support tied to mission-critical security delivery.
