The defense industrial base in Dallas-Fort Worth
The Dallas-Fort Worth area is one of the largest aerospace and defense manufacturing centers in the country. Lockheed Martin’s Fort Worth plant builds the F-35, Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth sits beside it, and Bell, Raytheon and other primes run major operations across the Metroplex.
Behind those primes is a long supply chain of machine shops, electronics makers, composites and software firms. Manufacturing suppliers often handle controlled technical data, drawings and specifications, which is CUI and puts them in CMMC Level 2 scope.
We also support contractors in Austin and elsewhere in Texas remotely. If a prime has sent you a CMMC flow-down or asked for your SPRS score, we start by reading the clause with you.

How we work with Dallas-Fort Worth 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 Dallas-Fort Worth. 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
Our machine shop makes parts from customer drawings. Do we need Level 2?
Possibly. Controlled technical drawings and specifications are usually CUI, which calls for CMMC Level 2. If your drawings carry CUI markings or your contract includes DFARS 252.204-7012, plan for Level 2.
Do you work with Austin contractors too?
Yes. We support contractors in Austin and across Texas remotely, with on-site time by arrangement.
Does Galaxy Consulting have an office in Dallas-Fort Worth?
No. Galaxy Consulting is based in Fort Washington, Maryland, and has no office or local phone line in Dallas-Fort Worth. We work with Dallas-Fort Worth 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.
