Secure Information Handling & CUI Safeguarding

The contract requires the implementation of NIST SP 800-171 controls to ensure the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information throughout all stages of defense contract execution, including order processing, shipping, and WAWF invoicing. This obligation applies to a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, emphasizing the need for robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard sensitive data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or compromise during routine operational workflows. Compliance with these standards is mandatory and must be fully integrated into existing processes to meet federal requirements for handling CUI. The work falls under NAICS code 541512, indicating that the scope involves computer systems design and related services, particularly those supporting secure information handling for defense logistics functions. The contract is positioned as a subcontract with no specified set-aside status and is posted for performance under the Department of Defense’s broader security framework. While the place of performance and point of contact details are not defined, the contractual obligations are tied directly to the handling of CUI in any operational environment, regardless of physical location, and must be maintained consistently across all systems and personnel involved in the lifecycle of defense-related transactions.
