When I look at this organization, it doesn't seem to jive with the way our government operates. Is there any reason another organization could not create a CMMC related certification and enter into an MOU with the DOD? I'm thinking ISACA?

I'm thinking of an organization that would charge reasonable certification maintenance fees and open up the avenues and methods to receive training.

From my experience in government, I'm pretty sure the DCMA would assess a C3PAO for any accreditation body.

I may get some blow back from those that have paid outrageous fees for training and certs thinking CMMC-AB is the sole source forever but I don't think government contracting works that way.
