FAQ

How do prime contractors manage CMMC flow-down risk?

Primes must ensure subcontractors meet applicable CMMC requirements. This often includes readiness assessments, subcontractor tracking, and contractual compliance clauses.

Can a prime contractor require subcontractors to be CMMC compliant?

Yes. Primes may require compliance as part of subcontractor qualification to reduce risk to the overall contract.

This depends on whether the subcontractor handles FCI or CUI. Many subcontractors fall under Level 1, while others require Level 2.

Yes. CMMC requirements flow down to subcontractors when they handle FCI or CUI. Many subcontractors will require CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 depending on the data they process.
