Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find contracts with DOE?

Search SAM.gov for active Department of Energy solicitations. Monitor the DOE procurement forecast published annually. Register in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and set up saved searches for relevant NAICS codes.

Does DOE require CMMC?

No. CMMC is a Department of Defense program (32 CFR part 170) imposed through the DFARS clause at 252.204-7021, so it does not reach Department of Energy contracts. DOE solicitations may carry their own cybersecurity requirements — read the solicitation: https://www.acquisition.gov/dfars/252.204-7021-contractor-compliance-cybersecurity-maturity-model-certification-level-requirements.
