CMMC COMPLIANCE FOR AEROSPACE ASSEMBLERS

CMMC Compliance for Aerospace Assemblers

Aerospace assemblers turn kits of parts into sub-assemblies and major structures. We bring your assembly floor, test cells, and quality systems to CMMC Level 2 without disrupting flight schedules.

Why Aerospace Assemblers Companies Need CMMC Compliance

Aerospace assemblers build everything from control surface modules to landing gear assemblies to major structural components. The assembly drawings, work instructions, ATPs, and serialized build records you run on are almost always CUI.

The CMMC challenge in aerospace assembly is process fidelity. Your customers — primes and Tier 1 suppliers — require serialized traceability per end item. A manipulated work instruction or tampered test result can ground an aircraft.

Primes are flowing CMMC Level 2 onto new aerospace assembly awards. Without a readiness program, you lose qualification.

We build CMMC programs tuned to aerospace assembly operations — AS9100-aligned, serialized-traceability-aware, and scoped to protect the process IP.

Which CMMC Level Do You Need?

The CMMC level you need is dictated by the information you handle under your DoD contracts. Here is how CMMC 2.0 breaks down for aerospace assemblers.

Level 1

Foundational

17 basic safeguarding practices from FAR 52.204-21
For contractors that handle Federal Contract Information (FCI) only
Annual self-assessment with senior-official affirmation in SPRS
No CUI in scope

Level 2 — Most Common for Aerospace Assemblers

Advanced

All 110 controls from NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2
Required for any contractor that stores, processes, or transmits CUI
Third-party C3PAO assessment every three years
The level most aerospace assemblers will need

Level 3

Expert

All Level 2 controls plus selected NIST SP 800-172 enhanced requirements
Required for contractors on the DoD's highest-priority programs
Government-led DIBCAC assessment every three years
Applies to a narrow set of contractors

Aerospace assemblers supplying DoD will need Level 2. We will review your contracts and DFARS clauses with you at no cost to confirm.

CUI We Protect for Aerospace Assemblers

Under NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 252.204-7012, every one of these artifacts is typically CUI when tied to a DoD contract. Each one is in scope for CMMC Level 2.

Assembly Drawings & BOMs

Prime-flowed drawings and BOMs for defense aviation assemblies.

Work Instructions & Procedures

Step-by-step build instructions tied to CUI assemblies.

Acceptance Test Procedures

ATPs and test result records for aviation sub-systems.

Serialized Build Records

As-built records per aircraft tail or serial.

Calibration & Tool Records

Torque and gauge calibration data tied to CUI products.

NCRs & Corrective Actions

Non-conformance and corrective action records tied to CUI parts.
