The defense industrial base in Arizona
Arizona has a strong mix of bases and defense industry. Luke Air Force Base west of Phoenix trains F-35 pilots, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson hosts attack and rescue aircraft and the military’s aircraft storage and regeneration group, and Fort Huachuca near Sierra Vista is home to the Army Intelligence Center of Excellence.
Tucson is home to a major Raytheon missile operation, and the Phoenix area has large aerospace and defense electronics operations. Yuma Proving Ground and Marine Corps Air Station Yuma add test and aviation missions in the west of the state.
Missile, electronics and aerospace suppliers commonly handle CUI, which calls for CMMC Level 2. We help you confirm your level and close the gaps.

How we work with Arizona contractors
Galaxy Consulting works remotely and on site by arrangement from its base in Fort Washington, Maryland. We do not have an office or a local phone line in Arizona. Most CMMC readiness work runs well remotely: scoping workshops and interviews by video, evidence review over a secure file share, and documents drafted with your team. When a walk-through of your facility helps, we arrange on-site time.
- Free 30-minute readiness call. We read your clauses and talk through your likely level.
- Scope and level determination. We map your system boundary and separate FCI from CUI, so Level 1 or Level 2 covers only what it must.
- Gap assessment. A practice-by-practice review with a written gap report, a prioritized remediation roadmap and an SPRS score estimate. See what a NIST 800-171 gap assessment includes.
- Remediation and documentation. Control implementation support, the System Security Plan (SSP), policies, procedures and POA&M.
- Self-assessment and SPRS support. Help with your self-assessment, SPRS submission and annual affirmation.

Where CMMC stands today
The CMMC program rule, 32 CFR Part 170, took effect on December 16, 2024, and the contract clause, DFARS 252.204-7021, on November 10, 2025, which started Phase 1. On July 13, 2026 the Department of War (DoD) suspended the move to Phase 2. During the suspension, new requirements may only call for Level 1 (Self) or Level 2 (Self), and DFARS 252.204-7012 and NIST SP 800-171 still apply. Read what the Phase 2 suspension means.

Frequently asked questions
Do Tucson missile and electronics suppliers need CMMC Level 2?
Often, because their work involves CUI such as controlled technical data. Your level is set by the information you handle and the clause in your contract, so we start by reading it with you.
Can you support a Arizona company remotely?
Yes. Scoping workshops, interviews and evidence review run well by video and secure file share, and on-site time can be arranged when a visit helps.
Does Galaxy Consulting have an office in Arizona?
No. Galaxy Consulting is based in Fort Washington, Maryland, and has no office or local phone line in Arizona. We work with Arizona contractors remotely, and on site by arrangement when a visit helps.
Can Galaxy Consulting certify my company for CMMC?
No. Galaxy Consulting advises and prepares; it does not certify. As a Registered Provider Organization (RPO) we help you get ready and support your self-assessment. Official CMMC Level 2 certification assessments are conducted by an authorized C3PAO, and Level 3 assessments by DCMA’s DIBCAC.
