Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find contracts with SBA?

Search SAM.gov for active Small Business Administration solicitations. Monitor the SBA procurement forecast published annually. Register in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and set up saved searches for relevant NAICS codes.

Does SBA 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 Small Business Administration contracts. SBA 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.
