Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find contracts with DoD?
Search SAM.gov for active Department of Defense solicitations. Monitor the DoD procurement forecast published annually. Register in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and set up saved searches for relevant NAICS codes.
Does DoD 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.
What are the top NAICS codes for DoD contracts?
The most commonly used NAICS codes for Department of Defense contracts include 541330, 541511, 541512, 541519, 541715. These codes cover the primary contracting areas for DoD. Check SAM.gov for specific opportunities under each code.
