Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 04.07.17
The Continuing Resolution funding government operations will expire on April 28, 2017. Absent a budget agreement or a new CR, certain government operations will cease. While Congress is working on the budget, contractors wishing to plan for the end of the CR and a potential shutdown might consider: (1) maintaining open lines of communication with their customers; (2) cataloguing contracts by funding source, performance period, option exercise dates to assess impact on their businesses, while paying attention to changes clauses for opportunities for mitigation; (3) preparing for human resources impacts on staff; and, (4) reviewing subcontracts to understand rights and obligations on both sides.

CMMC Phase II Suspension Requires Reconsideration of Such Requirements in Solicitations
As discussed in more detail here, the U.S. Department of War (DoW) recently issued a memorandum (Memo 26-P-1023, dated July 13, 2026) directing the immediate suspension of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Phase II requirements (Level I and II self assessments are still permitted). Significantly, the memo directs that “all pending and future CMMC implementation milestones across DoW solicitations and contracts are held in abeyance until further notice.” Moreover, the DoW issued a memorandum on implementing these requirements (available here), directing agencies to issue amendments removing CMMC Level 2 and 3 requirements from active solicitations “as soon as practicable.” Contractors should monitor the government’s compliance with this requirement and should be prepared, if needed, to file a bid protest to protect their rights.
