Abstract:
DoD has a requirement to collect information from offerors and contractors regarding the status of their implementation of implement the 110 system security requirements identified in the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication (NIST SP) 800-171 on their information systems that process controlled unclassified information (CUI). This information is being collected through either a contractor’s submission of a Basic self-assessment in DoD’s Supplier Performance Risk System, or a Medium or High assessment of contractors conducted by DoD assessors. Results of a NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment reflect the net effect of NIST SP 800-171 security requirements not yet implemented by a contractor.
Emergency Justfication:
This collection of information is needed prior to the expiration of the time periods normally associated with a routine submission for review under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, to enable the Department to immediately begin assessing the current status of contractor implementation of NIST SP 800-171 on their information systems that process CUI. Defense contractors have not fully or consistently implemented the NIST SP 800-171 security requirements on their covered information systems. Authorizing collection of this information on the effective date will motivate defense contractors and subcontractors who have not yet implemented existing NIST SP 800-171 security requirements, to take actions to implement the system security requirements on covered information systems that process controlled unclassified information. The aggregate loss of sensitive controlled unclassified information and intellectual property from the DIB sector could undermine U.S. technological advantages and increase risk to DoD missions.

Short Statement:
DoD is issuing an interim rule amending the DFARS to implement to NIST SP 800-171 DoD Strategic Assessment Methodology. The rule provides a new solicitation provision and contract clause for use in all acquisitions, excluding those exclusively for commercially available off-the-shelf items. Per the new provision, offerors that are required to have implemented NIST SP 800-171 per DFARS clause 252.204-7012, must have at minimum a current "Basic" self-assessment for each covered contractor information system in order to be considered for award. Per the new contract clause, if necessary, certain contractors may be required to provide documentation and demonstrate their implementation of the cyber security requirements during a "Medium" or "High" assessment conducted by DoD assessors
