Several representative bodies for academic and research institutions in the US have written to the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (USD[A&S]). Raising concerns over the implementation of CMMC and its financial impact on academic institutions during COVID 19. With a view that fundamental research may not contain CUI and may not pose issues for university based defence focused contracts. Concerned over how CMMC maturity levels will be assessed and applied by prime contractors to their subcontractors which include Universities.

They want to start a dialog on the impact of CMMC and how to resolve their concerns.
