How to Procure Maximus Engage for Defense Contracts
Maximus Engage is available through GSA MAS contract 47QSWA18D007M and SEWP V GWAC for technology procurement. Government pricing typically includes 15-20% discount from commercial rates, with volume discounts available for multi-year agreements exceeding 10,000 users. Contracting officers must review the System Security Plan (SSP) covering the authorization boundary including AWS GovCloud infrastructure, Maximus data centers, and third-party integrations with identity providers and payment systems. Key approval requirements include: data residency within CONUS, encryption in transit/at rest using FIPS 140-2 validated modules, and incident response procedures meeting agency timelines. Typical procurement timeline spans 4-6 months including: RFQ development (30 days), vendor response (45 days), technical evaluation (60 days), and contract award/implementation (45 days). For CMMC assessment boundary inclusion, document Maximus Engage as an external service provider handling CUI, requiring verification of their CMMC Level 2 compliance and inclusion in your supply chain risk management plan. Ensure contract language addresses data ownership, breach notification within 72 hours, and right to audit cloud security controls.
Compliance Cross-References
Maximus Engage's FedRAMP Moderate authorization directly supports DFARS 252.204-7012 compliance by providing adequate security for CUI through NIST 800-171 control implementation including Access Control (AC-3, AC-6), System and Communications Protection (SC-7, SC-8, SC-13), and Audit and Accountability (AU-2, AU-3, AU-6). For DFARS 252.239-7010 cloud computing requirements, the platform's AWS GovCloud hosting meets data location restrictions and provides required incident reporting capabilities. CMMC Level 2 domain alignment includes Asset Management (AM), Access Control (AC), System Security (SS), and Situational Awareness (SA) through comprehensive logging and monitoring. DoD Cloud Computing SRG Impact Level 2 requirements are satisfied through FedRAMP baseline controls, while IL4 capability supports controlled unclassified information processing. The platform's audit trails and access controls directly map to NIST 800-171 requirements 3.1.1 (access authorization) and 3.3.1 (audit record generation), supporting contractor self-assessment and third-party assessment requirements.
