Adding to the risk of accepting out-of-scope work that potentially could result in avoidance of the contract order, the GSA debarring official has recently put the burden on the contractor to police the situation: "We cannot have a situation where a contractor knows or should have known that something is wrong and does not at least raise the issue with the contracting officer, or, if appropriate, higher authority. On a case-by-case basis, if we determine that a contractor has not followed the rules, we may take appropriate action in the context of contractor responsibility."

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.
