• A contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work already contained a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling before SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix arrived; no new Protest and Modifications path.
• Provenance on SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix after a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling is broken; do not pick A modification is in-scope or A new procurement yet.
