SUMMARY:CMMC Level 1 for Federal Contractors
DESCRIPTION:Most defense contractors know they need to deal with CMMC. What they don’t know is exactly how to do it\, or where to start. The requirements are clear enough on paper: 15 security practices\, a self-assessment\, an executive affirmation filed in SPRS. \nBut translating that into action? That’s where companies get stuck. They read the same guidance documents three times\, buy tools they don’t need\, or pay consultants thousands of dollars for work they could do themselves. \nStarting July 6 – July 29\, Cape Fear Community College\, in partnership with the North Carolina Military Business Center\, is offering a hands-on CMMC Level 1 course designed specifically for small and mid-sized contractors who want to get this done efficiently and affordably. \nThe course is online\, so you can  join virtually from anywhere. This isn’t limited to the Cape Fear region. If you have an internet connection\, you can participate. \nOver 8 evening sessions across 4 weeks (Mondays and Wednesdays\, 6 to 9 PM)\, participants work through the entire Level 1 process: \n\nScoping your FCI environment so you know exactly what’s covered\nImplementing the 15 required practices with real configurations and policies\nBuilding your evidence pack so you’re audit-ready\nCompleting the self-assessment and preparing your executive affirmation\nFiling in SPRS before you leave the final session\n\nParticipants work on their own systems and documents during the course\, with direct support when questions come up. \nThis is a guided\, control-by-control implementation process where participants configure their own systems and leave with a completed self-assessment ready to file in SPRS. Over 8 evening sessions across 4 weeks\, participants work through each of the 15 required security practices with specific guidance on hardware\, software\, and configuration settings that satisfy each control. Questions are addressed in real time\, whether high-level or deeply technical. \nThe support doesn’t end when class does. The course includes 30 days of follow-up support after the final session\, plus one-on-one office hours throughout the program for individualized help on your specific situation. \nWhen. July 6 – July 29\, 2026 \nCost: $765 (all materials included) \n​​​​​​Seats: 25 available \nFor more information\, see the attached flyer. \nQuestions? Contact Tim Malone\, Regional Program Manager at NCMBC\, at malonet@ncmbc.us or (910) 728-7194. \nRegister

USACE is exploring opportunities to expand the use of these tools where appropriate and seeks direct feedback from industry to help shape future acquisition strategies and solicitation approaches. \nRather than conducting individual capability briefings\, USACE will convene industry representatives in a roundtable forum to share lessons learned\, discuss best practices\, and identify opportunities to improve project delivery outcomes. \nEVENT OBJECTIVE \nThis Reverse Industry Day is designed to provide industry with a platform to: \n• Share real-world experiences and lessons learned using emerging acquisition methods.\n• Discuss successful implementation strategies\, challenges\, and risk mitigation approaches.\n• Provide recommendations on solicitation structure\, evaluation criteria\, partnering practices\, and contract administration considerations.\n• Offer feedback that may inform future USACE acquisition planning and solicitation development. \nTOPICS OF INTEREST \nDiscussion topics may include\, but are not limited to: \n• Other Transaction Authorities (OTA)\n• Progressive Design-Build (PDB)\n• Design-Build to Budget (DB2B)\n• Integrated Design and Construction (IDAC)\n• Early contractor involvement\n• Collaborative project development\n• Cost and schedule certainty\n• Innovation and risk-sharing approaches\n• Best practices for owner-contractor collaboration \nEVENT INFORMATION \nDate:  Tuesday\, July 14\, 2026 \nTime:  1:00 PM – 3:30 PM (Pacific Time) \nLocation:\nHyatt Regency Sacramento\n1209 L Street\nSacramento\, CA 95814 \nFORMAT \nIndustry-to-USACE Roundtable Discussion \nPresenter Option:\nThe Government\, at its sole discretion\, may select up to five (5) industry partners to present a case study (see form link\, to be provided below).
