CMMC Conditional Status

Temporary CMMC status allowing award when a limited set of requirements remains on a POA&M to be closed within 180 days.

Definition

For Level 2, conditional status requires a minimum score of 80 percent (88 of 110) and that only permitted requirements, generally 1-point items and not specified critical ones, are on the POA&M. A POA&M closeout assessment must confirm remediation within 180 days or the status expires.

Example

A contractor scoring 95 with two 1-point items outstanding receives Conditional Level 2 status.

Exam tip

Conditional status expires after 180 days if POA&M items are not closed and verified.
