Your prime's quality team just emailed about CMMC. We've built for this exact ask.
Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop, Raytheon — every major prime is now flowing DFARS 252.204-7012 and CMMC clauses to tier-2 and tier-3 suppliers. You don't need a $250K consulting engagement to comply.
The specific reasons your contracts changed.
Prime flowdown is universal
Every major aerospace prime has a documented CMMC flowdown plan. If you machine, fabricate, or assemble for a defense program, you'll see the clause.
Drawings are CUI
Technical data packages with distribution statements B/C/D/E/F are CUI. Most tier-2 shops handle this routinely without realizing it.
Quality teams are the gatekeepers
Primes audit suppliers via their quality organizations. CMMC is being folded into the same review process as AS9100.
Subs of subs are not exempt
Flowdown is recursive. If your customer flows the clause, you must flow it to anyone you subcontract CUI-touching work to.
Cincra was built with aerospace tier-2 suppliers in mind: limited IT staff, real machining floors, and a sensible CUI enclave for the engineering workstations.
