# Contractor Question Government Response

1 ID# 11811357- Draft PWS requires contractors to have CMMC Level 2 (Self-certified), while

Solicitation requires CMMC Level 2 (C3PAO) at time of contract award. Many 8(a)s will not yet have achieved Level 2 3rd party assessed due to the costs involved; this will severely limit the level of competition and potential awards. Can the govt clarify and limit it to

CMMC Level 2 self-certified as in the PWS?

RFO DFARS clause 252.204-7021 was revised to reflect that CMMC status level to be identified in the solicitation and award at the task order level as either a CMMC Level

1, (Self); CMMC Level 2 (Self);

CMMC Level 2 (C3PAO); or

CMMC Level 3 (DIBCAC), compliance with which shall be required at task order proposal, task order award, and throughout the entire performance of the task order

Manager and Program Analyst for GFEBS), with a minimum and maximum of one resume for each position (i.e., two resumes)? In addition to those two key personnel, does the government also require two key personnel for each of the eleven (11) performance objectives listed (2.1 -

2.11), for a total of twenty-two (22) designated key personnel? If the additional 22 are required, does the government expect/require 22 unique key personnel or will some lesser combination suffice? For example, a minimum of "less than

22 resumes" and a maximum of twenty-two (22) resumes? In summary, is the government expecting up to 24 key personnel resumes on this small business set-aside procurement?
