About this opportunity

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) issued this Special Notice on March 18, 2026, to inform current and prospective contractors that future contract actions under the SCB MAC IDIQ will incorporate Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements in accordance with Department of War implementation guidelines. This notice serves as an informational announcement regarding the application of CMMC standards and does not constitute a formal solicitation or request for proposals. NAVSEA will mandate CMMC compliance for contractors whose information systems are expected to process, store, or transmit Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The specific CMMC level required will be identified in individual solicitations or delivery orders. All affected contractors must demonstrate compliance as a condition of contract, task order, or delivery order award.

The purpose of this notice is to provide advance notification that contractors bidding on future SCB MAC IDIQ actions must obtain and maintain current CMMC certification status recorded in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS), including valid assessment results and affirmations. Contracting officers will incorporate applicable CMMC requirements along with related Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) cybersecurity provisions and clauses into all relevant solicitations and delivery orders. Eligibility to participate requires contractors to achieve the CMMC level specified for each individual contract or task order and maintain this certification throughout performance. While the notice applies to contractors supporting NAVSEA across the boat building and small craft sectors, contractors are advised to review official CMMC guidance and resources to understand certification pathways and compliance obligations for their specific contract actions.
