Secure Manufacturing and Handling of Covered Defense Information (CDI)

The contract requires the manufacture and assembly of aerospace tube components under strict compliance with NIST SP 800-171 standards, as the work involves handling Covered Defense Information (CDI). This subcontract is tied to the Department of Defense through the ASC SUPPLIER OPER OEM DIVISION and mandates that all systems and processes used during production safeguard CDI from unauthorized access, disclosure, or compromise. Performance of the work is localized to San Diego, with a specific zip code designated for delivery and operations, ensuring physical and cyber security controls are enforced at the site. Bidders must respond by the deadline of May 20, 2026, following the solicitation issued on May 12, 2026, under the NAICS code 336411, which categorizes the work under Aircraft and Aircraft Parts Manufacturing. The effort demands a demonstrated ability to meet federal cybersecurity requirements, including implementing access controls, audit logging, incident reporting, and system integrity protections consistent with NIST SP 800-171. Failure to comply with these security protocols will render the subcontract nonviable, and all activities must be conducted in a controlled environment capable of sustaining continuous compliance throughout the manufacturing lifecycle.
