How to Procure UKG Pro for Government for Defense Contracts
UKG Pro for Government is available through GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) under SIN 518210C (IT Professional Services) and SIN 54151S (Software as a Service). Government pricing typically reflects 15-25% discounts from commercial rates with additional volume discounts for enterprise deployments exceeding 5,000 users. The FedRAMP authorization package includes a comprehensive System Security Plan (SSP) documenting the authorization boundary encompassing AWS GovCloud infrastructure, UKG application layers, and third-party integrations. Contracting officers must approve the inherited controls from AWS GovCloud, UKG's continuous monitoring procedures, and any customizations requiring security assessment. The standard procurement timeline spans 90-120 days including security review, contract negotiation, and initial system configuration. For CMMC assessment boundary inclusion, document UKG Pro's role in processing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) within HR processes, ensuring the FedRAMP authorization covers all CUI data flows. Integration points with existing identity management systems (Active Directory, PKI) require specific attention during boundary definition. Consider leveraging the DoD Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI) agreement if applicable to your organization.
Compliance Cross-References
UKG Pro for Government's FedRAMP Moderate authorization directly supports DFARS 252.204-7012 compliance by providing adequate security for CUI processing within HR systems, including personnel records and compensation data. The cloud deployment satisfies DFARS 252.239-7010 requirements through AWS GovCloud hosting and FedRAMP continuous monitoring. NIST 800-171 control families are addressed comprehensively: Access Control (AC) through role-based permissions and multi-factor authentication, System and Communications Protection (SC) via FIPS 140-2 encryption and boundary protection, and Audit and Accountability (AU) through comprehensive logging and monitoring capabilities. For CMMC Level 2 compliance, the system supports Access Control, Audit and Accountability, Configuration Management, Identification and Authentication, Media Protection, Personnel Security, Physical Protection, Recovery, Risk Assessment, Security Assessment, System and Communications Protection, and System and Information Integrity domains. The DoD Cloud Computing SRG Impact Level 2 requirements are met through the FedRAMP authorization, providing appropriate controls for DoD Controlled Unclassified Information processing within government HR operations.
