This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) outlines the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements for procurement contracts, categorizing them into three levels based on information sensitivity: Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). CMMC Level 1, for FCI, mandates 17 basic safeguarding requirements, a self-assessment recorded in SPRS, and prohibits Plans of Actions and Milestones (POA&M). Level 2, for CUI on non-Federal systems, requires implementing NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2, a self-assessment (or C3PAO assessment after Nov 10, 2026), and permits POA&M closeout assessments within 180 days. Level 3, for CUI requiring protection from advanced persistent threats, necessitates implementing NIST SP 800-171 and NIST SP 800-172, a Government-led assessment, and also allows POA&M closeout assessments within 180 days. For all levels, a valid certification is a condition of award, offerors without it are ineligible, and contractors must ensure subcontractors meet the corresponding CMMC requirements. The Government will verify certification status in SPRS throughout the contract period.
