About this file

This file is a Solicitation Questions and Answers document addressing both contractual and technical inquiries related to the Combat Identification Automated Target Recognition Technology (CATCH) Call 06 solicitation (FA237726RB005).

The document addresses two primary areas of contractor concern. On the contractual side, it clarifies CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) requirements under DFARS 252.204-7021 and DFARS 252.204-7025, specifying that contractors must maintain a current CMMC Level 2 assessment posted in SPRS at the time of contract award and throughout contract performance, with the Level 2 requirement satisfied through self-assessment rather than third-party assessment. On the technical side, the Q&A addresses facility clearance limitations, confirming that contractors with Top Secret facility clearances but only Secret safeguarding capabilities may proceed with work, as Secret-level safeguarding is sufficient for this effort. The response indicates that contractors unable to store or work on Top Secret material at their facilities will not face disqualification, though the document does not explicitly confirm government facility access arrangements.
