Technical Data and CUI Protection Compliance (Cybersecurity)

The contract requires the implementation and maintenance of robust cybersecurity safeguards for systems that handle Controlled Unclassified Information associated with the manufacturing and logistics of hose assemblies. This is a subcontract under the Department of Defense’s Fluid Handling Division, with the primary focus on ensuring compliance with federal cybersecurity standards to protect sensitive but unclassified technical data. The work is specifically tied to operations located in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, and must align with the NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. All systems handling CUI must be secured according to applicable NIST guidelines and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement requirements to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or compromise. The solicitation was posted on July 21, 2026, with a response deadline of August 3, 2026, indicating a narrow window for qualified subcontractors to submit proposals. The contract emphasizes continuous compliance, not just initial implementation, requiring ongoing monitoring, documentation, and adaptation of security controls in response to evolving threats. While no set-aside provisions or point of contact details are provided, the place of performance and the nature of the work suggest a need for physical and digital security coordination at the specified location. Contractors must be prepared to demonstrate proven experience in securing CUI environments within defense supply chain contexts.
