I am proud to announce Amazon is planning to invest $10 billion in North Carolina to expand our infrastructure to support AI and cloud computing technologies. The investment in the state is also expected to create at least 500 new high-skilled jobs and support thousands of other jobs in the Amazon Web Services supply chain. When Amazon data centers become a part of local communities, they serve as catalysts for opportunity, sparking job creation, increasing household incomes, and driving economic growth.

🔐 Federal Contractor Insight: GSA CUI ≠ CMMC (see comparison below) Key Points: ⚖️ Dual Compliance: Civilian + DoD work may require meeting both Rev. 3 (GSA) and Rev. 2 (CMMC) standards. 🧩 Different Processes: Assessments, approvals, and reporting expectations vary between GSA and CMMC. 🚨 Faster Incident Reporting: GSA requires reporting within 1 hour vs 72 hours under DFARS/CMMC. Action: Review GSA solicitations for Guide inclusion and conduct a Rev. 3 vs Rev. 2 gap analysis.
