# Federal Contractors Maintain CMMC Level 1 Compliance

On October 30, 2026, Federal Endowment Directing Consultants, LLC (FEDCON) advised federal contractors and subcontractors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) to maintain Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 1 compliance. The advisory identifies three practical steps: implement and document 15 basic safeguards, complete an annual self-assessment, and enter the resulting score in the Department of Defense’s Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). Incomplete safeguards or missing SPRS records may hinder contract eligibility or awards.

- Contractors handling FCI should verify that all 15 safeguards are implemented and documented, and that their annual self-assessment score is recorded in SPRS.
- Procurement and business-development teams should confirm that relevant compliance records are complete before pursuing federal opportunities, since missing documentation may affect eligibility or award decisions.
- CMMC compliance consultants may find demand from contractors seeking help documenting safeguards and maintaining current SPRS records.
