NIST invites proposals from current MEP Centers or consortia of Centers to provide outreach, education, and technical assistance to U. S. manufacturers who supply products within supply chains for the U. S. Department of Defense (DoD) and who must implement adequate cybersecurity protections as required
in the supply of products to the DoD.
