In its recent June Memo, the DoD took to reminding the Defense Industrial Base that any contractor with a DFARS 7012 clause in its contract must implement NIST 800-171 and have an SPRS score on record.
The memo also notes that failure to comply with these controls or show progress on a plan to implement them, can lead to a contracting officer withholding payments, limiting contract options or terminating the contract altogether.
