Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find contracts with Air Force?

Search SAM.gov for active United States Air Force solicitations. Monitor the Air Force procurement forecast published annually. Register in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and set up saved searches for relevant NAICS codes.

Does Air Force require CMMC?

CMMC is not set agency-wide. Under DFARS 252.204-7021(d)(1) the Contracting Officer inserts the required level — Level 1 (Self), Level 2 (Self), Level 2 (C3PAO) or Level 3 (DIBCAC) — into each solicitation, covering the systems that process, store or transmit FCI or CUI. Read the solicitation rather than a generic agency rule: https://www.acquisition.gov/dfars/252.204-7021-contractor-compliance-cybersecurity-maturity-model-certification-level-requirements. Separately and regardless of CMMC status, DFARS 252.204-7012, implementation of NIST SP 800-171 and a current SPRS score remain binding on contracts that carry them.
