MCCALL COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTING
MAPS Request For Proposal (RFP) Draft 5 - 10MAR2026
Decision
Pursue this opportunity as a subcontractor to a Large Business.
MCC is highly positioned to join a winning team as an SDVOSB subcontractor leveraging its Top Secret Facility Clearance and ISO certifications. A prime bid is blocked by the CMMC Level 2 hard gate and a lack of approved business systems required for the self-scoring matrix.
Why this call
Current evidence supports acting on the recommended subcontract posture now.
- MCC is an ideal SDVOSB partner for Large Businesses, offering a Top Secret Facility Clearance and ISO 9001/27001 certifications.
- The Draft 5 scorecard requires CMMC Final Level 2 certification as a pass/fail screening gate, which MCC does not currently hold.
- We must verify if the final RFP will strictly require CMMC Level 2 certification for subcontractors at the time of submission.
Next capture moves
- Conduct immediate outreach to current prime partners on ITES-3 and ENCORE 3 to discuss MAPS teaming.
- Produce a one-page capability-to-scope map that shows where the company fits and where it does not.
- Review the Draft 5 Small Business Subcontracting Plan requirements to help Large Business targets understand how MCC boosts their evaluation score.
Decision watchouts
Why not prime
Lack of Approved Business Systems
MCC lacks DCAA-approved Accounting, Purchasing, and Property Management systems.
CMMC Level 2 Hard Gate
Blocks the prime path entirely.
Still to verify
Will CMMC Final Level 2 (self) certification be strictly required at the time of proposal submission for all subcontractors, or only for the prime/JV entity?
Determines if MCC can participate as a subcontractor without holding its own CMMC Level 2 certification at the time of the proposal.
