SUGGESTED OPENER
“Daniel — noticed Apex was awarded the F-15 component contract through AFLCMC last month. With Phase 2 hitting November, the recompete on your multi-year is going to require third-party Level 2. Wanted to see if you'd already lined up your assessor.”

OBJECTION HANDLERS
"We're handling it internally"
Most internal teams hit gap analysis but skip assessor scheduling. C3PAO wait times are now 18+ months for Q4 2026 slots.
"Send me info"
Push for 15-min next week. Reference the Lockheed sub-tier CUI flow-down specifically.
"Already engaged"
Ask who. If a non-C3PAO RPO, mention the post-Nov 2026 exposure for unaffirmed scores.
