The answer to your question will be in the amendments to the Government Open
System Interconnection Profile (GOSIP) which have been or will be published
in the Federal Register.  The NIC will probably have electronic copies of any
amendments that have been published under PROTOCOLS: along with the original
GOSIP and FIPS documents.

If the question is related to a DoD procurement, you should check directives
issued by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) which will define any
deviations from the GOSIP requirements. 

Based on my aged copy of the GOSIP document, neither SNMP nor CMOT is required.
Neither is likely to be required based on directions established in the GOSIP
document; however, it would be reasonable to expect an agency to specify CMOT
in specific procurements for interoperability with existing systems/networks.
