Subcontract Management & Flow-Down Compliance

The contract requires strict adherence to cybersecurity standards under NIST SP 800-171, ensuring that all subcontractors are contractually obligated to implement the required security controls and maintain compliance throughout the performance period. Incident reporting protocols must be fully integrated into subcontractor agreements, mandating timely notification and response to any cyber incidents affecting controlled unclassified information. Compliance verification will be conducted through the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS), where subcontractors must submit and maintain accurate, up-to-date documentation demonstrating their cybersecurity posture. The prime contractor bears full responsibility for ensuring these flow-down requirements are effectively communicated, enforced, and audited across the supply chain. This subcontract management obligation is tied to a Department of Defense procurement under the NAICS code 561320, with performance centered at Cherry Point, North Carolina, 28533-5040.
