The Pause Is Now in the Contract File: What Class Deviation 2026-O0025 Revision 3 Does to CMMC
Class Deviation 2026-O0025, Revision 3 does not give CMMC Phase 2 a 2027 date. It tells contracting officers to pull third-party assessment language out of live solicitations and contracts, keep NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 under DFARS 252.204-7012, and treat Level 1 / Level 2 (Self) as permitted — not cancelled.
