TX Defense Contractors:
CMMC Phase 2 / Volt Typhoon / ITAR / FCA Qui Tam

Volt Typhoon has pre-positioned inside the U.S. Defense Industrial Base since 2021 (CISA/NSA Joint Advisory AA24-038A). Booz Allen's DIB scale analysis documents $1.4T in annual DoD prime contracting flows one Tier 2/3 network compromise away from cascading shutdown. CMMC 2.0 Phase 2 enforcement begins November 2026 under 32 CFR Part 170 — DoD will not award contracts without current SPRS scores. The DFARS 252.204-7012 72-hour DIBNet clock starts from discovery, not detection. False Claims Act qui tam settlements on CUI mishandling are landing at $1.2M–$70M.
