SPRS NIST SP 800-171 Workflow

Step 1. Obtain Access to SPRS; Register in PIEE and activate a “SPRS Cyber Vendor User” role:

Once your company registers with PIEE, your company will need to establish a Contractor Administrator (CAM). The CAM acts as your companies User Role approver. Your CAM will approve your request for a “SPRS Cyber Vendor User” role.

If there is only one CAM, and this person is applying for a SPRS User role, they must request User role activation from PIEE help desk.

Step 2. In order to perform the NIST Assessment, your company needs to have an internal IT System Security Plan (SSP) in place. Hopefully, your IT department has already written one of these.

If not;

System Security Plan (SSP) Guide & Template: https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800- 171/rev-2/final

The template is found on the right hand side under documentation. Titled CUI SSP Template.

Step 3. Once the SSP is in place, you are ready to ‘perform’ the NIST Assessment.

For assistance with conducting your NIST SP 800-171 assessment, assessment interpretation, definitions, deadlines, regulations, requirements, scope, etc.; you will need to contact the DCMA Help Desk at: DCMA_7012_Assessment_Inquiry@mail.mil.

Step 4 If your score is less than 110 you will need to complete a Plan of Action

Regulatory directives:

The new DFARS provision 252.204-7019, Notice of NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Requirements, and new DFARS clause 252.204-7020, NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Requirements, add additional cybersecurity measures to those already required under DFARS 252.204-7012 by establishing enforcement methodologies for ensuring contractors have implemented the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-171 DoD Assessment Methodology.

Contracting Officers are directed to include DFARS 252.204-7019 and 252.204-7020 in all solicitations and contracts including solicitations using FAR part 12 procedures for the acquisition of commercial items, except for solicitations solely for the acquisition of COTS items.

DFARS provision 252.204-7019, Notice of NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Requirements, advises offerors required to implement the NIST SP 800-171 to have a current (not older than three years) NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment on record in order to be considered for award. The provision requires offerors to ensure the results of any applicable current Assessments are posted in Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) and provides offerors with additional information on conducting and submitting an Assessment when a current one is not posted in SPRS.

The new DFARS clause 252.204-7020, NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Requirements, requires a contractor to provide the Government with access to its facilities, systems, and personnel when it is necessary for DoD to conduct or renew a higher-level (“MEDIUM “or “HIGH”) assessment. The clause also requires the contractor to ensure that applicable subcontractors have the results of a current Assessment posted in SPRS prior to awarding a subcontract or other contractual instruments. The clause also provides additional information on how a subcontractor can conduct and submit an Assessment when one is not posted in SPRS. Flow-down of this clause to applicable subcontracts is also mandated.

If you require a step-by-step guide for access to the SPRS system, please contact the contract specialist listed on the solicitation document.
