This synopsis is hereby amended to include the following CMMC Requirement:

Cybersecurity is a top priority for the Department of Defense (DoD). The defense industrial base (DIB) faces increasingly frequent and complex cyberattacks. To strengthen DIB cybersecurity and better safeguard DoD information, the DoD developed the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program to assess DoD cybersecurity requirements pertaining to Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

The items in this acquisition have been deemed to fall into CMMC Level 2- Self-Assessment. CMMC Level 2 requires implementation of the 110 security requirements set forth in NIST SP 800–171 Rev. 2 to protect CUI in contractor information systems. Level 2 assessments are conducted every three years. CMMC Level 2 self-assessment scores are entered by the OSA into SPRS.
