How to Procure BambooHR Government for Defense Contracts
BambooHR Government is available through GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) under SIN 518210C (IT Professional Services). The government-specific pricing includes FedRAMP compliance overhead, typically 15-25% above commercial rates. Contracting officers must verify the FedRAMP authorization completion before contract award, as the product is currently in 3PAO assessment phase. The System Security Plan (SSP) boundary includes the core HR platform, mobile applications, and API integrations but excludes third-party payroll connectors. CORs should specify data location requirements (CONUS-only) and require CAC/PIV integration timelines in the PWS. Procurement timeline averages 4-6 months including security review, with FedRAMP Low authorization expected Q2 2024. For CMMC Level 2 assessments, include BambooHR Government within your assessment boundary as a cloud service provider handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) through employee records containing FOUO personnel data. Require monthly continuous monitoring reports and specify incident notification procedures within 24 hours. Ensure contract language addresses data portability requirements per FAR 39.105 and includes government rights to security assessment artifacts. The vendor provides government-specific support channels and maintains security documentation packages required for FISMA annual assessments.
Compliance Cross-References
BambooHR Government's FedRAMP Low authorization directly supports DFARS 252.204-7012 compliance by implementing adequate security controls for CUI handling within HR systems. For DFARS 252.239-7010 cloud computing requirements, the platform provides government-approved cloud services with continuous monitoring capabilities. The system maps to critical NIST 800-171 control families: Access Control (AC) through role-based permissions and CAC/PIV integration, System and Communications Protection (SC) via encryption in transit and at rest, and Audit and Accountability (AU) through comprehensive logging of all HR transactions. For CMMC Level 2, BambooHR Government addresses People (AT) domain requirements through employee security training tracking, Asset Management (AM) via hardware/software inventory capabilities, and Data Protection (DP) through classification handling of personnel records. The DoD Cloud Computing SRG Impact Level 2 requirements are met through the FedRAMP baseline controls, including boundary protection, configuration management, and incident response procedures. Organizations using BambooHR Government can cite this authorization to satisfy annual FISMA reporting requirements and demonstrate compliance with federal HR data protection mandates.
