With the new CMMC rule now in place, the Federal Government has implemented the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). This system will score each contractor based on a cybersecurity assessment, and these scores—along with supplier performance information related to NIST 800-171 controls—will be available through SPRS.

The DOD Instruction 5000.79 identifies SPRS as “the authoritative source to retrieve supplier and product PI assessments for the DoD acquisition community to use in identifying, assessing, and monitoring unclassified performance.” According to DFARS Section 204.7603, contracting officers must consider both price and supplier risk, if available in SPRS, as part of their award decisions.

Understanding the evaluation process and what is expected from contractors is crucial for success. This course will cover the essential elements of completing a mock assessment, along with the potential risks associated with an insufficient score.

What You Will Learn:

• A comprehensive overview of the assessment process
