Why Aerospace Parts Manufacturers Companies Need CMMC Compliance

Aerospace parts manufacturers sit on the volume side of the defense aerospace supply chain. Machined and formed details, fasteners, fittings, brackets, and specialty parts flow through your shop in thousands of part numbers at any given time. Each part number often carries a TDP that is CUI under NIST SP 800-171.

Managing CUI at the part-number volume is difficult. Drawings from multiple primes sit in the same PDM, FAIRs for defense and commercial jobs are often comingled, and USB drives, emailed PDFs, and shared SMB folders move files without any audit trail.

Primes are flowing CMMC Level 2 down on new DoD POs across every aerospace program. Without a readiness program, you will be designed out of new work.

We build CMMC programs for aerospace parts manufacturers that scale with part-number volume: automated CUI tagging, PDM-integrated access controls, and policies that work at production tempo.

79%
of aerospace parts manufacturers store CUI drawings in PDMs without logical customer-by-customer access separation.

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 parts manufacturers.

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 Parts Manufacturers

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 parts manufacturers 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 parts manufacturers supplying DoD work will need Level 2 in nearly all cases. We will review your contracts and DFARS clauses with you at no cost to confirm.

CUI We Protect for Aerospace Parts Manufacturers

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.

Part Drawings & 3D Models

CATIA, NX, SolidWorks drawings across thousands of defense part numbers.

Process & Routing Sheets

Manufacturing routings and process specs.

FAIRs & Quality Data

AS9102 FAIRs and inspection records tied to CUI parts.

Material & Heat-Treat Certs

DFARS specialty metals and heat-treat records.

Supplier & AVL Data

Prime-flowed AVLs and supplier quality data.

Traceability & Serialization

Serial-number traceability tied to defense aircraft tails.
