Request for Whitepapers: AEDC Velocity Alliance - A Multi-Billion Dollar OTA Consortium Opportunity

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides answers to industry partner questions regarding the Request for White Papers (RFWP) for membership in the AEDC Velocity Alliance Consortium.

• Consortium Management: The government will manage the consortium internally.
• Asphalt Paving: Standalone paving projects can be competed within the Alliance under the "General Construction" category.
• Partnership Requirements: To join the Alliance, whitepapers must identify a partner that is either a Non-Traditional Defense Contractor (NDC), a Small Business, or a Nonprofit Research Institution. University partners are highly likely to qualify as nonprofit research institutions.
• Small Business Requirement: Even if a company qualifies as a small business, it must still identify a partner (NDC, university, or another small business) to demonstrate partnership capability, not just its own status.
• Opportunity Distribution: All consortium members will receive all Project Opportunity Announcements (POAs) regardless of their demonstrated competencies. The government will not filter or limit solicitations based on onboarding phase assessments.
• Down-Selection Methods: The government may use various methods (whitepapers, prototype proposals, oral presentations, etc.) to down-select performers for specific requirements, tailored to each project's needs.
• Whitepaper Length: The entire whitepaper submission (Parts 1-4) must not exceed ten pages. A separate cover page is not required and counts towards the page limit if used.
• CUI Inclusion: Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) may be included in whitepaper submissions, but classified information is strictly prohibited.
• CMMC Level 2 Certification: A roadmap demonstrating the plan to achieve full CMMC Level 2 C3PAO Certification by November 2026 is a hard prerequisite for vendors relying on the alternative compliance path. Roadmaps indicating certification after November 2026 will not be considered responsive.

These clarifications provide essential details for vendors preparing their whitepaper submissions, particularly regarding partnership requirements, submission format, and critical security compliance deadlines (CMMC Level 2).

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) regarding the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program, as of Revision 2.2. It aims to clarify requirements, processes, and policies for organizations seeking to comply with CMMC.

• CMMC Implementation Timeline: CMMC assessment requirements will begin to be incorporated into applicable procurements starting November 10, 2025. The initial 12 months will focus on self-assessments.
• NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC: NIST SP 800-171 is the federal standard for safeguarding controlled unclassified information (CUI). CMMC Level 2 assessments will verify compliance with NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2. The Department plans to incorporate Revision 3 in the future.
• Flow Down to Subcontractors: CMMC requirements will flow down to subcontractors based on the type of data (FCI or CUI) they handle.
• Assessment Frequency: Level 1 self-assessments are required annually, while Levels 2 and 3 require assessments every three years.
• Scope of CMMC: CMMC applies to nonfederal unclassified information systems that process, store, or transmit FCI or CUI. It does not apply to classified systems or environments.
• External Service Providers: Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) must meet FedRAMP Moderate baseline requirements if processing, storing, or transmitting CUI. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) may be assessed as part of the Organization Seeking Assessment's (OSA) evaluation, but do not require their own CMMC certification.
• Hard-copy CUI: Organizations handling only hard-copy CUI are generally not required to complete a CMMC Assessment, but must still safeguard the information. If hard-copy CUI is digitized, the information technology system used is subject to CMMC requirements.

This document clarifies key aspects of the CMMC program that bidders and contractors need to understand for future solicitations and contract performance. It details when CMMC will be required, the standards used (NIST SP 800-171), and how requirements apply to different entities, including subcontractors and external service providers. Understanding these FAQs is crucial for preparing accurate proposals and ensuring compliance.
