How to Procure CrowdStrike Falcon GovCloud for Defense Contracts
CrowdStrike Falcon GovCloud is available through GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) 70 under SIN 518210C (Cybersecurity Services) and SEWP VI contract vehicle for rapid procurement. Government pricing includes significant discounts compared to commercial rates, with volume licensing tiers starting at 500 endpoints. The authorization boundary encompasses the complete SaaS platform including data processing, storage, and management functions within AWS GovCloud regions. Contracting officers must approve the inherited FedRAMP High controls documentation, review the Customer Responsibility Matrix for shared security controls, and validate data handling agreements for CUI/CDI processing. Typical procurement timeline is 45-90 days including security review and ATO documentation preparation. For DFARS 7012 compliance, ensure your contract includes specific data location requirements (US persons only) and incident response procedures. The service integrates into your CMMC assessment boundary as an External Service Provider (ESP) requiring annual attestation of security controls. Include cyber incident reporting clauses per DFARS 252.204-7012 and ensure adequate government rights for security monitoring data. Budget for professional services implementation ranging from $50K-200K depending on enterprise size and integration complexity.
