Episode notes

This week we sit down with Supply Chain Director Bo Birdwell to discuss Elbit America's latest open letter to suppliers regarding CMMC. Elbit's letter doesn't mince words: CMMC is here and the time to act is now. Bo not only walks us through the perspective of a major prime contractor on cost, timelines, outsourced services, CMMC Level 3, and more - he also drops a ton of helpful tips for current and prospective suppliers.
