Editorial note

This page was rebuilt as a primary-source brief. Unsupported deadlines, penalties, award claims, quotations, company outcomes, and reviewer identities from the legacy version were not carried forward.

Legacy topic record

The prior version used the topic label “What Should Contractors Do Now That CMMC Implementation Is on Hold After Early Certifications in 2026?.” That wording is retained only to identify the corrected page; it is not presented as a verified factual premise.
