All companies that do business within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) supply chain or that want to participate in future US Department of Defense bids will be affected by the rollout of CMMC and will be required to obtain a CMMC certification. This will include all suppliers across every tier of the supply chain, from small businesses to foreign suppliers and commercial items contractors. The only companies exempt from CMMC certification are those that produce commercial off-the-shelf products. Find out more.
