What you receive

One record. Two audiences.

Agency buyers need a clear public explanation. FedRAMP’s systems need structured data. Boundera keeps both outputs tied to the same provider-reviewed facts.

Guided inputs, public Trust Center, JSON package, service scope, and quarterly progress surface.

03

FedRAMP decides

Only FedRAMP can approve a Marketplace listing or determine certification status.

The path to submission

Three moves from facts to form.

The official request stays in your hands. Boundera organizes the inputs, publishes the public record, and gives your team submission-ready answers and URLs to review.

  1. 01

    Confirm the use case

    Document the direct or indirect federal use case and collect the offering facts that already exist.

  2. 02

    Publish the record

    Review and publish the Trust Center, service scope, machine-readable package, and quarterly milestones.

  3. 03

    Submit to FedRAMP

    Use the prepared answers and URLs to submit the official provider request yourself.

Eligibility comes first

Show how federal agencies will use the offering.

A compliance goal alone is not the use case. Your request should describe one of the two ways the cloud offering will support a federal system.

MKT-IIP-AGU
01

Direct use

An agency will use the offering directly as part of a federal information system and issue its own authorization to operate.

02

Indirect use

Another cloud service offering used by agencies will include your product as a third-party information resource.

The certification runway

Listing is the start line, not the finish.

Your public record should keep showing real progress. For Class B, C, or D certification, the rules require evidence that an assessment is scheduled within two years of the initial listing.

Boundera keeps the public surface and quarterly evidence in one place; your team remains responsible for accurate milestones and the assessment schedule.

Common questions

Straight answers before you start.

No guaranteed approval dates, invented readiness scores, or blurred ownership.

01How long does it take to prepare a FedRAMP Marketplace listing?

Preparation time depends on how complete your offering facts, service scope, contacts, and public links are. Boundera prepares the package for your review, but FedRAMP controls its own review time and Boundera does not promise an approval date.

02Do I need an independent assessor or security assessment to get listed?

No assessment is required for the Initial Implementation Phase listing itself. For Class B, C, or D certification, the rules require evidence of a scheduled assessment within two years of the initial listing.

03How much does a FedRAMP Marketplace listing cost?

Creating and publishing your Marketplace listing with Boundera is free and does not require a card. Marketplace Entry is $5,000 per year when you are ready to start making the security and engineering changes needed for certification; that plan fee credits toward an upgrade.

04Does Boundera submit the request for us?

No. Boundera prepares and hosts the package, and your team reviews it and submits FedRAMP's official request. FedRAMP alone decides whether to list or certify an offering.

05Do we need all sixteen public information items on day one?

No. Publish the items that are available and applicable, keep them current, and add fields such as a FedRAMP ID or assessor when they become real.

06Does a CMMC requirement make our offering eligible?

Not by itself. The offering must still support direct or indirect federal agency use. A private-sector compliance need without a federal use case is outside FedRAMP's Marketplace scope.
