# Black Bear Technology Solutions Achieves CMMC Level 2 Certification

Black Bear Technology Solutions (B2TS), a prime contractor based in Alexandria, Virginia, has achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2, demonstrating its capability to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in federal government contracts. This certification reflects B2TS's commitment to meeting evolving cybersecurity requirements despite a pause in Department of War activities, positioning the company to support complex and expanding government missions that require enhanced cybersecurity compliance.

- **Why this matters:** Federal agencies increasingly require contractors to hold CMMC certifications to safeguard sensitive information, making B2TS a qualified vendor for contracts involving CUI.
- Procurement professionals should note that vendors with CMMC Level 2 certification are better positioned to compete for contracts with cybersecurity mandates.
- Organizations supporting government missions in Virginia and beyond may find opportunities to collaborate with or subcontract to B2TS given its certified status.
- Contractors should maintain or pursue CMMC certifications to align with federal cybersecurity standards and remain competitive in government procurement.
