Supply Chain Risk Management & Cybersecurity Compliance

The contract requires full implementation of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 1 and DFARS 252.239-7018 to ensure robust system security and transparent supply chain practices across all covered systems and processes. Compliance entails establishing and maintaining a comprehensive cybersecurity framework that protects controlled unclassified information, enforcing access controls, continuous monitoring, incident reporting, and securing the information supply chain against third-party risks. All technical and administrative safeguards must align with federal standards for handling sensitive defense-related data and must be verifiable through documentation, audits, and assessments. The work is structured as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, part of the Department of Defense, and falls under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. Performance is expected to meet strict federal compliance timelines and operational requirements, with no specified geographic location for performance, indicating potential nationwide or multi-site execution. The solicitation was posted in August 2026, and the contract is tied to DLA’s broader initiative to fortify defense supply chains against cyber threats, ensuring end-to-end security from procurement to system deployment.
