How to Procure Coupa Government Cloud for Defense Contracts
Coupa Government Cloud is available through GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) 70 under SIN 518210C (IT Professional Services) and SIN 541330 (Engineering Services). The solution is also procurable via SEWP V contracts and CIO-SP3 OASIS for implementation services. Government pricing typically includes 15-25% discount from commercial rates, with additional volume discounts for enterprise deployments. The authorization boundary includes Coupa's procurement, invoice, expense, and supply chain modules, all hosted in AWS GovCloud infrastructure. Contracting officers must approve the use of Coupa's existing FedRAMP ATO, validate data classification levels remain at Moderate impact, and ensure proper DFARS clauses are included for CUI handling. SSP documentation should reference Coupa's existing authorization package (available in the FedRAMP marketplace) and document any agency-specific configurations or integrations. Typical procurement timeline spans 4-6 months: 30-45 days for requirements definition and vendor selection, 60-90 days for contract negotiation and ATO review, and 45-60 days for implementation and user acceptance testing. For CMMC assessments, include Coupa Government Cloud within your assessment boundary if processing DoD CUI, ensuring proper data flow mapping and access controls documentation align with CMMC Level 2 requirements.
Compliance Cross-References
Coupa Government Cloud's FedRAMP Moderate authorization directly supports DFARS 252.204-7012 compliance by providing adequate security controls for CUI processing and storage. The cloud deployment satisfies DFARS 252.239-7010 requirements through its AWS GovCloud hosting and government-specific security implementations. NIST 800-171 control families are addressed as follows: Access Control (AC) through role-based permissions and multi-factor authentication, System and Communications Protection (SC) via encryption at rest and in transit using FIPS 140-2 validated modules, and Audit and Accountability (AU) through comprehensive logging and monitoring capabilities. For CMMC Level 2 compliance, Coupa addresses multiple domains including Access Control (AC.L2), System and Information Integrity (SI.L2), and Risk Assessment (RA.L2) through its security architecture. The DoD Cloud Computing SRG Impact Level 2 requirements are met through the AWS GovCloud infrastructure and Coupa's security controls implementation, enabling defense contractors to process and store CUI within the spend management workflows while maintaining compliance posture.
