What is SPRS?
SPRS is the DoD system where contractors post their NIST 800-171 self-assessment score and, under CMMC, their certification status and affirmations.

The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) is the government database contracting officers check to confirm a contractor's cybersecurity posture. A NIST 800-171 self-assessment score has been required in SPRS since DFARS 252.204-7019/7020 took effect in November 2020.
Under CMMC, SPRS also holds certification status and affirmations. The planned November 10, 2026 Phase II transition was suspended on July 13, 2026; Phase I self-assessment requirements remain in place during the reform review.
A SPRS score is a signed federal representation. The 2026 LOGZONE False Claims Act settlement — a self-reported 110 against a DIBCAC-assessed −170 — established that an inflated SPRS score can be treated as fraud, even without a breach.
