The defense industrial base in Utah
Hill Air Force Base near Ogden is one of the largest employers in the state and home to the Ogden Air Logistics Complex, which maintains and modernizes Air Force aircraft and missiles. Northrop Grumman’s work on the Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile (formerly GBSD) has added a large engineering presence in northern Utah.
West of Salt Lake City, Dugway Proving Ground and Tooele Army Depot support Army test and munitions missions. Along the Wasatch Front, a supply chain of engineering, software, composites and machining firms supports these programs.
Missile, aircraft and sustainment work regularly involves CUI, which calls for CMMC Level 2. Smaller suppliers that only handle FCI need Level 1. We help you work out which applies.

How we work with Utah 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 Utah. 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
We support Hill AFB sustainment work. Which CMMC level do we need?
It depends on whether you handle FCI only or CUI such as technical orders and engineering data. CUI calls for Level 2. We read your contract and flow-downs with you to confirm.
Can you support a Utah 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 Utah?
No. Galaxy Consulting is based in Fort Washington, Maryland, and has no office or local phone line in Utah. We work with Utah 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.
