Needs and Uses: The collection of information is necessary for DoD to assess where vulnerabilities exist in its supply chain and take steps to correct such deficiencies. In addition, the collection of information is necessary to ensure Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors that have not fully implemented the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800–171 security requirements pursuant to the clause at DFARS 252.204–7012 begin correcting these deficiencies immediately. This requirement supports implementation of section 1648 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Pub. L. 116–92). Section 1648(c)(2) directs the Secretary of Defense to develop a risk-based cybersecurity framework for the DIB sector as the basis for a mandatory DoD standard. This requirement is implemented in the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) through the solicitation provision at 252.204–7019, Notice of NIST SP 800– 171 DoD Assessment Requirement, and the contract clause at 252.204–7020, NIST SP 800–171 DoD Assessment Requirements. This clearance covers the following requirements: • DFARS 252.204–7019, Notice of NIST SP 800–171 DoD Assessment Requirement, is prescribed for use in all solicitations, including solicitations using FAR part 12 procedures for the acquisition of commercial products and commercial services, except for solicitations solely for the acquisition of commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) items. Per the provision, if an offeror is required to have implemented NIST SP 800–171 per DFARS clause 252.204–7012, then the offeror shall have a current assessment for each covered contractor information system that is relevant to the offer, contract, task order, or delivery order in order to be considered for award. • DFARS 252.204–7020, NIST SP 800–171 DoD Assessment Requirements, is prescribed for use in in all solicitations and contracts, including solicitations and contracts using FAR part 12 procedures for the acquisition of commercial products and commercial services, except for solicitations and contracts solely for the acquisition of COTS items. The clause requires the contractor to provide the Government access to its facilities, systems, and personnel in order to conduct a Medium Assessment or High Assessment, if necessary. Medium Assessments are PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 assumed to be conducted by DoD Components, primarily by program management office cybersecurity personnel, in coordination with the Defense Contract Management Agency’s DCMA’s Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity Assessment Center (DIBCAC), as part of a separately scheduled visit (e.g., for a critical design review). High Assessments will be conducted by, or in conjunction with, DCMA’s DIBCAC. DoD may choose to conduct a Medium Assessment or High Assessment when warranted based on the criticality of the program(s)/ technology(ies) associated with the contracted effort(s). For example, a Medium Assessment may be initiated by a program office who has determined that the risk associated with their programs warrants going beyond the Basic self-assessment. The results of that Medium Assessment may satisfy the program office or may indicate the need for a High Assessment. Jennifer Johnson, Editor/Publisher, Defense Acquisition Regulations System.
