    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is issuing a special notice regarding the implementation of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program, which is crucial for defense contractors and subcontractors. This program establishes requirements for safeguarding Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) through prescribed cybersecurity standards, ensuring that contractors conduct assessments of compliance for their information systems that handle sensitive data. The CMMC Program is designed to enhance the security of nonpublic, unclassified information critical to supporting the Department of Defense's operations, with a projected go-live date of October 1, 2025, although this date is still pending confirmation. Interested parties should direct inquiries regarding the CMMC requirements to the designated Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist listed in the SAM.gov announcement.
