Local CMMC Expertise

CMMC Compliance for the JBLM Contractor Community

Joint Base Lewis-McChord is one of the largest military installations on the West Coast, and its supply chain reaches far beyond the base gates.

A Different Kind of Defense Supplier

Unlike Seattle's aerospace-heavy defense base, Tacoma and the South Sound's JBLM-adjacent contractors skew toward logistics, facilities services, equipment maintenance, and IT support for Army and Air Force units stationed there. Many of these businesses are only now realizing that a prime contract or subcontract with the base brings CUI or FCI exposure — and with it, the same DFARS 252.204-7012 obligations that a Boeing supplier carries.

What Actually Changed — And What Didn't

The Department of War suspended CMMC Phase II — the transition to mandatory third-party C3PAO assessments — in July 2026, and a federal Reform Task Force is now reviewing the program. However, what has not changed is DFARS 252.204-7012, the 110-control NIST 800-171 standard, or the requirement to self-assess and report a score through SPRS. In fact, self-attested compliance now carries more scrutiny, not less, since no third-party assessor currently shares the liability.

inTech Consulting is headquartered at 524 W Meeker St, Suite #2, Kent, WA, a short drive from JBLM and the South Sound contractor corridor. Specifically, we help Tacoma-area logistics providers, facilities contractors, and equipment suppliers run gap assessments against the 110 controls, build System Security Plans and POA&Ms, and get to an accurate, defensible SPRS score, without overstating what's currently required.

Who It's For

Is CMMC Support Right for Your Tacoma Business?

Our CMMC compliance services in Tacoma are built for specific types of defense-adjacent businesses. Here's who benefits most.

✓ Great Fit

  • Tacoma-area logistics and facilities contractors serving JBLM
  • Equipment maintenance and supply companies with base-adjacent contracts
  • Businesses that need to report an accurate SPRS score but have never run a formal gap assessment
  • Companies just discovering a CUI or FCI exposure through a new prime contract
  • Organizations confused by the Phase II suspension and unsure what's still required

✕ Probably Not a Fit

  • Businesses with no DoD contracts and no CUI/FCI exposure — see our Managed IT Services page instead
  • Companies seeking a guaranteed certification outcome — no vendor can guarantee C3PAO results
  • Businesses outside the Pacific Northwest region
  • Organizations wanting only a one-time document review with no remediation support

Our CMMC Framework

How Our Tacoma CMMC Compliance Process Works

A structured path from unknown gaps to a defensible, accurate compliance posture.

01

Gap Assessment

We assess your Tacoma environment against all 110 NIST 800-171 controls and identify exactly where you stand today.

02

SSP & POA&M

We build your System Security Plan and Plan of Action & Milestones — the documentation any future assessment or SPRS scoring will require.

03

Remediation

We close the gaps — access controls, encryption, logging, incident response — so your environment matches what your SSP claims.

04

Ongoing Monitoring

Annual affirmations and SPRS reporting stay current, with your compliance posture monitored continuously.

Transparent Pricing

How Much Does CMMC Compliance Cost in Tacoma?

CMMC 2.0 readiness for Tacoma-area defense contractors typically runs $25,000–$75,000. Overall, the exact figure depends on your current security posture, environment complexity, and how many of the 110 NIST 800-171 controls already have supporting evidence in place. For example, companies starting from an unmanaged environment fall toward the higher end, while companies with an existing managed IT provider fall toward the lower end.

What Moves the Price

Cost Goes Higher When:

  • You've never run a formal NIST 800-171 gap assessment
  • Your environment includes legacy on-prem servers alongside cloud tools
  • You handle CUI across multiple systems or physical sites
  • You need SSP/POA&M documentation built from scratch

Cost Goes Lower When:

  • You're already an inTech managed IT client
  • Your environment is mostly cloud-based (Microsoft 365 GCC High, Azure)
  • You have partial documentation already in place
  • CUI exposure is limited to a single, well-scoped system boundary

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About CMMC Compliance in Tacoma

Straight Answers, No Jargon

Is CMMC still required after the Phase II suspension?

Yes, in the sense that matters most. Phase II — the shift to mandatory third-party C3PAO assessments — was suspended in July 2026 pending a federal review. DFARS 252.204-7012 and the underlying NIST SP 800-171 standard remain fully in force, and self-assessment, SPRS reporting, and annual affirmations are still required.

How much does CMMC compliance cost for a Tacoma-area contractor?

CMMC 2.0 readiness typically costs $25,000–$75,000, depending on how much of the 110-control NIST 800-171 baseline is already in place. Companies already using a managed IT provider generally land at the lower end.

Do you work with JBLM logistics and facilities contractors?

Yes. We regularly support logistics, facilities services, and equipment maintenance contractors serving Joint Base Lewis-McChord that carry DoD flow-down requirements through prime contracts.

My business just picked up a JBLM subcontract — do I need CMMC now?

It depends on whether the contract involves CUI or FCI. A gap assessment is the fastest way to find out exactly what's required and where your current environment stands against the 110 controls.

What happens if I don't address CMMC now that Phase II is suspended?

Your DFARS 252.204-7012 obligations and self-attestation requirements continue regardless of Phase II's status. An inaccurate SPRS score now carries more False Claims Act exposure, not less, since there's no third-party assessor to share that risk.
