Secure IT and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Safeguarding

The contract requires the implementation of comprehensive cybersecurity controls to safeguard contractor information systems in alignment with NIST Special Publication 800-171 and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement clause 252.204-7012, specifically focused on protecting Controlled Unclassified Information. The work is part of a subcontract under the Department of Defense, with performance taking place at Robins AFB, Georgia, 31098-1887, and must be completed in accordance with federal mandates governing the secure handling of sensitive but unclassified data. All systems and processes must be configured to meet or exceed the required security controls, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of CUI throughout its lifecycle. This solicitation, issued under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services, has a response deadline of July 31, 2026, with the posting date set for July 23, 2026. The contract is structured as a subcontract and does not designate a set-aside category, meaning it is open to all qualified contractors regardless of size or certification status. Compliance with the specified cybersecurity standards is non-negotiable, and the contractor must demonstrate the ability to implement, maintain, and audit these controls continuously. Failure to conform to NIST 800-171 or DFARS 7012 requirements will result in non-compliance and potential contract termination.
