Level 1
$3,000+
For FCI and basic safeguarding.
Support for the 15 Level 1 requirements, annual self-assessment readiness, SPRS-oriented documentation, and affirmation confidence.
CMMC Level 1 • Level 2 • NIST SP 800-171
CMMC readiness that looks as clean as it performs.
Federal Bid Partners LLC helps defense contractors clarify the right compliance path, organize evidence, and build reviewer-ready documentation for CMMC Level 1, CMMC Level 2, and NIST SP 800-171. The work is founder-led, U.S.-based, and handled with senior accountability from scope through final readiness packet.
Family-owned
Brother-led
CMMC RP guidance
Master's-level cyber expertise
CMMC requirements are driven by contract language and official DoD systems. Federal Bid Partners provides readiness support, evidence organization, and administrative guidance. We do not act as a C3PAO and do not guarantee certification or award outcomes.
Level 2
Custom
For CUI and deeper assessment paths.
Readiness support for NIST SP 800-171, SSP discipline, POA&M planning, CUI boundary clarity, and assessor-facing evidence.
NIST
Custom
For SP 800-171 implementation.
Requirement-by-requirement mapping, evidence structure, technical control review, policy alignment, and remediation planning.
Founders
Direct
Senior accountability throughout.
No rotating bench, no call-center handoffs, and no outsourcing of the client relationship.
Founder-led, not generic compliance copy
Two-brother founded company
Senior cyber guidance, not a template handoff.
Federal Bid Partners LLC is a brother-founded company built around direct accountability. One founder brings master's-level cybersecurity education and CMMC Registered Practitioner guidance, giving clients a more disciplined path from requirements to evidence.

Contract eligibility is changing
DoD is moving cybersecurity from promise to proof.
CMMC exists because Federal Contract Information and Controlled Unclassified Information move through contractors and subcontractors every day. Solicitations can specify a required CMMC level, and contracting officers are directed to check current CMMC status in SPRS when the requirement applies.
FCI
Level 1
Basic safeguarding still needs evidence.
Level 1 is not a dense enterprise audit, but it still requires honest implementation, an annual self-assessment posture, and confidence before affirmation.
- 15 requirements mapped clearly
- FCI handling assumptions documented
- Evidence organized for leadership review
CUI
Level 2
CUI requires a stronger system story.
Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171 readiness need a real boundary, current evidence, SSP discipline, and remediation planning that can survive scrutiny.
- CUI boundary and data flow review
- SSP and POA&M readiness
- Evidence aligned to requirements
SPRS
Status
Representations need to match reality.
Assessment results, affirmations, and readiness decisions should be backed by organized proof, not assumptions or stale screenshots.
- Evidence freshness check
- Owner and remediation tracking
- Management-ready summary

How We Work
We make the process concrete, sequenced, and easy to follow.
The gap analysis starts with contract requirements and data scope, then moves through systems, people, policies, technical settings, current evidence, and remediation priorities.
01
Discover
Contract and data review
We review clauses, CUI/FCI assumptions, CAGE/UEI, users, systems, cloud services, and where sensitive data is received, stored, processed, transmitted, or discussed.
02
Assess
Requirement-by-requirement mapping
We map Level 1 requirements or the applicable NIST SP 800-171 controls to real implementation status and existing proof.
03
Fix
Gap register and remediation plan
Each item is marked met, partially met, not met, not applicable, or needs validation, then prioritized by risk and assessment impact.
04
Package
Readiness packet and roadmap
We tighten policies, evidence, summaries, and next steps into a cleaner record your leadership can understand and your team can maintain.
What we organize
Evidence
The right packet starts with the right records.
Contract
Scope
Contract and information review
Solicitation clauses, CUI markings, FCI/CUI assumptions, flowdowns, customer portals, deliverables, and subcontractor exposure.
Assets
Systems
System and asset inventory
Laptops, servers, cloud services, email, file storage, SaaS platforms, mobile devices, network diagrams, and user groups.
Identity
Access
Access and identity evidence
User lists, MFA settings, password controls, privileged accounts, onboarding/offboarding steps, and administrative reviews.
Policies
Process
Policy and procedure set
Incident response, media handling, physical security, training records, acceptable use, change management, and leadership approvals.
Technical
Proof
Technical control screenshots
Endpoint security, patching, backups, logging, encryption settings, firewall rules, vulnerability scans, and secure configuration evidence.
Roadmap
Owners
Leadership and remediation data
Control owners, target dates, business constraints, budget realities, existing vendors, and the path to a sustainable readiness rhythm.
Clear lane selection
Pricing
Pick the right readiness lane.
Level 1 has a simple posted support price. Level 2 and NIST scopes depend on CUI boundary, system complexity, evidence maturity, and assessment path.

Common client questions
FAQ
Questions contractors ask before starting.
Is CMMC Level 1 really only about 15 requirements?
Level 1 centers on 15 basic safeguarding requirements for Federal Contract Information. The work still needs structure: scope, implementation, evidence, self-assessment readiness, and leadership confidence before affirmation.
When does Level 2 become necessary?
Level 2 generally matters when Controlled Unclassified Information is involved or the solicitation requires that level. The path can be more complex because NIST SP 800-171, the SSP, POA&M, evidence quality, and assessment route all matter.
Are you a C3PAO?
No. Federal Bid Partners provides readiness support, evidence organization, and administrative guidance. We help you get organized before assessment or self-assessment decisions, but we do not issue CMMC certifications.
What makes your process different?
The work is founder-led by a two-brother company, supported by CMMC Registered Practitioner guidance and master's-level cybersecurity education. You get senior attention, practical sequencing, and clean deliverables instead of generic policy bundles.
