DoD’s Stocking Stuffer: Defense Department Announces Proposed CMMC Pilot Programs
Client Alert | 1 min read | 12.21.20
This week, the DoD announced the first group of pilot programs under the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. Although still under review, these programs will likely be among a small group to issue solicitations in FY2021 that will require a CMMC certificate to be eligible for award. The DoD expects to identify eight other programs in the coming weeks, bringing the total number of FY2021 solicitations subject to CMMC up to 15. Each program is expected to require a Level 3 certificate for primes, and either a Level 3 or Level 1 certificate for every subcontractor, with limited exceptions.
