Prompted by reported disparities across federal agencies in the implementation and management of programs to develop, procure, maintain, and use accessible electronic and information technology as required by section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, OMB recently issued a Strategic Plan: Improving Management of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. This plan outlines several milestones that federal agencies must meet in 2013 and 2014 to increase transparency, strengthen accountability, and improve collaboration across agencies throughout the IT acquisition lifecycle for the consistent management of section 508.

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.
