Meridian Compass
CMMC RFP & Contract Clause Decoder · free preview

Paste the CMMC language from your RFP or prime. Know what you’re agreeing to.

A DFARS 7012 reference, a Level 2 mention, an SPRS score request, a 72-hour incident-report clause: each one carries different obligations, costs, and conversations with primes. Paste the sanitized clause and the decoder returns a plain-English read, likely implications, ambiguities to clarify, questions to put back to the prime or contracting officer, and the provider type you probably need next.

Free preview. The full $99 RFP Decoder export packages the readout, clause-by-clause prime-question script, and a 30-day next-step plan for archiving with the response. Not legal advice; not a replacement for a qualified attorney or RPO.

What the decoder checks

Eighteen contractual signals, every one explainable.

The decoder is rule-based pattern matching, not a model. Every signal it raises is a phrase it found in your text. We show you the matched phrase and where it appeared.

  • CMMC
    CMMC Level 1, 2, or 3

    Whether the clause names a specific level, and what to do when it doesn't.

  • DFARS
    DFARS 252.204-7012 / 7019 / 7020 / 7021

    The four DFARS clauses that build the floor under CMMC. We surface which ones are present and what they trigger.

  • Data
    CUI, FCI, CDI

    Which protected-data designation the clause invokes, and what it implies about scope and assessment posture.

  • Posture
    Self-assessment vs C3PAO

    Whether the clause specifies a posture, and the negotiation when it doesn't.

  • Score
    SPRS submission

    Whether SPRS is referenced as a gating mechanism, and what a missing score does to award eligibility.

  • Flowdown
    Subcontractor flowdown

    Whether you'll need to flow the clause to your own subs, and which language the prime accepts.

  • Cloud
    FedRAMP / FedRAMP-equivalent

    Whether the clause permits commercial cloud, requires FedRAMP Moderate, or names an equivalency standard.

  • Incidents
    72-hour reporting

    Whether incident-reporting obligations are present and whether your team has the DIBNet certificate to comply.

Paste the CMMC / DFARS / NIST 800-171 / CUI / SPRS-related clause from your RFP, prime questionnaire, or contract. Remove dollar amounts, identifiers, and proprietary content first. Never paste CUI itself.

Anonymous by default. The readout works without an email. If you provide one, we hold it locally so you can return to the result.

Not the right entry point?

If the situation is “we got a quote and don’t know if it’s fair”, the Quote Decoder is sharper. If it’s “we don’t know whether we need an RPO, MSP, or C3PAO”, run the Provider Matcher. If it’s a budget conversation, start with the free Cost & Path Calculator.
