Contractor Query

"I'm a 12-person precision machine shop. Just got a quote request from a Tier 2 Lockheed sub that mentioned 'FCI flow-down.' What does that mean for my CMMC level, and what do I need before I quote?"

DoDbrief Response

Short answer: FCI flow-down means you handle Federal Contract Information. That puts you at CMMC Level 1, not Level 2 — assuming no CUI is involved.

Before you quote, do this: Complete a Level 1 self-assessment against the 17 FAR 52.204-21 controls. Post your score to SPRS. Confirm with the Lockheed sub whether any CUI flows with the work — if yes, you're Level 2 and the math changes.

Watch out for: Some primes are flowing Level 2 language down even when the data is only FCI. Push back politely. The wrong level costs you $50K–$150K you don't need to spend.

Capabilities · 06 Domains

Six knowledge fronts. One AI on watch.

DoDbrief was built from inside the defense industrial base — not by SaaS bros guessing. Every answer is grounded in current rules: 32 CFR Part 170, DFARS, NIST 800-171, FAR 52.204-21.

CMMC & Compliance

All 110 NIST 800-171 controls in plain English. SPRS optimization. SSP and POA&M guidance. C3PAO prep. Assessment failure points.

Federal Contracting

SAM.gov walkthroughs. CAGE codes. NAICS strategy. Capability statements. Bid/no-bid framework. Contract vehicles (GSA, SEWP, CIO-SP4).

Cybersecurity Tech

MFA setup. Network segmentation. FIPS 140-2 encryption. Endpoint protection. GCC High decisions. VPN configuration. Backup requirements.

Business Operations

Cost allowability. DCAA-compliant accounting. Indirect rates. Insurance. Bonding. Reading solicitations. RFP structure. Government pricing.

Set-Aside Certifications

WOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a). Eligibility checks. Application walkthroughs. SAM.gov profile optimization. Set-aside opportunity strategy.

Real-Time Bid Support

Solicitation breakdowns. Compliance matrix help. Past performance positioning. Subcontracting plans. Teaming agreements. Capture strategy.

The Reality · 2026

The deadline isn't waiting. The contracts aren't either.

Phase 2 CMMC enforcement begins November 10, 2026. C3PAO assessor slots are booked 6 to 9 months out. Primes are flowing requirements down to subcontractors right now.

Most small contractors don't have a compliance officer, a $200/hour consultant on retainer, or a Beltway insider on speed dial. They have a phone, a problem, and a deadline.

DoDbrief fills that gap. 24/7.

Common questions from contractors.

Does DoDbrief replace a compliance consultant or C3PAO?

No — and we wouldn't want to. DoDbrief gives you fast, accurate answers so you can walk into a consultant or C3PAO conversation already informed. Think of it as the prep officer before the brief, not the brief itself.

Is my data secure? Where does it live?

DoDbrief is hosted on US infrastructure (Netlify/Vercel + AWS US-East). We do not store your queries, do not sell data, and do not use foreign-owned platforms or AI models. CMMC-clean architecture by design.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a generalist. DoDbrief is purpose-built around six DIB-specific knowledge fronts (CMMC, federal contracting, cyber, ops, set-asides, bid support) with prompts and guardrails grounded in current DFARS, FAR, and 32 CFR Part 170 language. No hallucinated regulation citations.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel with one click in your account. No retention calls, no haggling. Your trial is 7 days with credit card required — cancel before day 7 and you pay nothing.

Who built this?

DoDbrief is a Doug Slates product, built by someone who's spent 20 years supplying diesel to US Army installations and a decade inside one of the country's largest private fleets. Built for people on the shop floor, not the Beltway.
