Utility Monitoring and Control Systems (UMCS) Cybersecurity Hardening

The contract supports cybersecurity hardening of utility monitoring and control systems across both continental and overseas U.S. government sites, with a focus on secure configuration, implementation of the Risk Management Framework, and attainment of Authority to Operate. The work ensures that critical utility control infrastructure meets federal cybersecurity standards by aligning with NIST guidelines and Department of Defense requirements, enabling continuous operation in secure, compliant environments. Performance is centered in Huntsville, Alabama, with activities expected to span multiple locations to support the Department of Defense’s utility systems infrastructure. This subcontract falls under NAICS code 541511 for computer systems design services and is managed by the U.S. Army Engineering & Support Center in Huntsville. The effort involves close coordination with government stakeholders to assess vulnerabilities, implement mitigations, document controls, and facilitate the ATO process for systems that monitor and manage essential utility functions such as power, water, and environmental controls. Compliance with RMF is mandatory, requiring ongoing documentation, testing, and continuous monitoring to sustain operational authorization against evolving cyber threats.
