WHO WE ARE

Built by operators who ran the programs you're bidding on.

Leatherneck Federal Consulting LLC is a South Carolina–based, disabled veteran-owned small business formed in May 2026 — but built on 60+ years of combined federal acquisition leadership.

Our principals have served as DCMA Contracts Managers, NAVSEA Chiefs of Contracting, NNSA procurement oversight leads, and DAF SBIR Principal Investigators. We pair that acquisition bench with active security clearances and secure-technology capability — AI, M365/GCC High automation, and IL-appropriate data platforms.

OUR PROPRIETARY METHODOLOGY

The LFC OORAH Framework

From gap assessment to audit-ready — Oorah. Five disciplined phases grounded in NIST SP 800-171, 32 CFR Part 170, and the CMMC Assessment Process.

O
PHASE 01
ORIENTScope & Baseline

Define the assessment boundary and establish an honest, evidence-based baseline before a single dollar is spent on remediation. Most failed assessments are lost here — to over-scoped enclaves and undocumented CUI flows.

O
PHASE 02
ORGANIZEPlan & Architect

Turn the gap register into a costed, sequenced remediation program and an enclave architecture sized to your operation — not a template. This is where compliance becomes a project with an owner, a budget, and a date.

R
PHASE 03
REMEDIATEImplement & Document

Execute the POA&M — implement controls and write the documentation that proves them. The single most common Day-1 failure is a structurally perfect SSP with zero implemented, documented controls. Remediation is where compliance actually gets built.

A
PHASE 04
ASSESSValidate & Rehearse

Prove readiness before the C3PAO does. A mock assessment against the official CMMC Assessment Process (CAP) finds the gaps your team can't see — while there's still time and budget to fix them.

H
PHASE 05
HOLDCertify & Sustain

Pass the assessment and hold the objective. Certification is a milestone, not the finish line — CMMC is a continuous obligation with annual affirmations, SPRS upkeep, and POA&M discipline. You don't just win it; you hold it.
