Orlando defense contractors build the simulators, training systems, sensors and software that prepare and equip the U.S. military. ITServices.Tech looks after IT for Orlando defense contractors through one managed plan: user support, security, CMMC preparation and long-range planning.
The simulation and training hub
The Central Florida Research Park next to UCF is home to the Army’s simulation and training acquisition office, the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division and Air Force and Marine Corps training organizations, together known as Team Orlando. Hundreds of companies, from large primes to small software firms, build simulators, training content and systems for them, and Lockheed Martin has a major missiles and sensors operation in the city.
CMMC for training and simulation firms
Training system contracts that touch CUI already carry DFARS terms: the 110 controls of NIST SP 800-171 and a posted self-assessment score. The CMMC rule has been showing up in solicitations since November 10, 2025, and its second phase, effective November 10, 2026, lets program offices make third-party Level 2 certification a condition of award. Our job is getting you ready, from defining the boundary to fixing gaps and assembling proof; the accredited C3PAO does the actual assessment.
Software development and CUI
Simulation companies write code, build 3D models and handle technical data that may be CUI. Source code repositories, build servers and developer laptops need the same controls as the rest of the environment, which takes planning so engineers can still work efficiently.
Small businesses near UCF
Many Team Orlando suppliers are small businesses and startups spun out of UCF research. Putting CUI in a small, dedicated space, such as a government cloud tenant used only by the engineers on the program, keeps costs sensible as headcount climbs.
Evidence and continuous readiness
Assessors want proof that controls operate over time. Monthly log reviews, quarterly access checks, patch reports, course completions and restore tests all go into one evidence library that stays current between assessments.
