CMMC Requirements Show up in GSA’s STARS III Contract by Jackson Barnett
“New Department of Defense contractor cybersecurity standards have tip-toed into a government-wide federal contract, even before language around the new program has officially landed in defense contracts.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) — the new cybersecurity certification standards to be implemented into all DOD contracts over the next five years — was included in the General Services Administration’s $50 billion STARS III contract, posted earlier this week. GSA says it “reserves the right” to require CMMC certifications for small businesses awarded spots on the government-wide IT contracting vehicle.”
