โš  The Procurement Problem

Buying Compliant Cloud Shouldn't Take Longer Than Building It

Plenty of teams are perfectly capable of running their own cloud โ€” they just get stuck at the front door: navigating contract vehicles, vetting CSP authorizations, and wrestling with consumption bills that no one is governing.

  • ๐Ÿงพ

    Procurement Friction

    Standing up a direct CSP agreement that fits a federal contract vehicle can take months of paperwork before a single resource is provisioned.

  • ๐Ÿ”

    Authorization Uncertainty

    Confirming a provider's FedRAMP status, impact level, and boundary against your requirements is easy to get wrong and costly to correct later.

  • ๐Ÿ“‰

    Ungoverned Consumption Spend

    Without governance, consumption bills drift upward unchecked โ€” variance that budget-bound programs can't absorb or explain.

๐Ÿงฐ What Brokerage Delivers

Access and Procurement, Handled โ€” Operations, Yours

Cloud Brokerage focuses on getting you cleanly and compliantly onto a certified cloud, then governing the commercial relationship. The day-to-day environment stays under your control.

๐Ÿ›’

CSP Access & Procurement

We broker access to FedRAMP-certified cloud service providers and handle the acquisition mechanics so you can provision quickly.

  • FedRAMP-certified CSPs only
  • Account setup & access provisioning
  • Impact-level & boundary verification
๐Ÿ“œ

Contract Vehicle Alignment

Your cloud is ordered through the right federal vehicle, so procurement is clean, auditable, and compliant from day one.

  • GSA MAS, NASA SEWP V, CATS+
  • Vehicle-aligned ordering
  • Acquisition documentation support
๐Ÿ“Š

Governed Consumption Billing

Consumption is passed through at cost on a single, transparent invoice โ€” with governance and visibility to keep spend predictable.

  • Consumption at cost, no markup
  • Consolidated single invoice
  • Spend visibility & optimization guidance
๐ŸŽฏ Know Exactly What You're Getting

Where Brokerage Stops โ€” and Where Managed Begins

Brokerage is deliberately lightweight. If you need GovDataHosting to operate the environment for you, that's the Fully Managed engagement.

โœ… Included in Cloud Brokerage
  • Access to FedRAMP-certified CSPs through GovDataHosting
  • Procurement and contract-vehicle alignment
  • Consumption billed at cost on a consolidated invoice
  • Spend governance, visibility, and optimization guidance
  • A single federal point of contact for the relationship
โ†— Not Included โ€” Step Up to Fully Managed
  • Day-to-day operation of your cloud environment
  • 24/7 SOC monitoring and incident response
  • Authoring and maintaining your ATO package
  • Continuous monitoring performed on your behalf
How Cloud Brokerage Is Priced
Consumption โ€” Pass-Through at Cost
You pay the certified CSP's actual usage charges, passed through transparently with no markup on the underlying cloud resources.
+
Brokerage & Procurement Fee
A fee for the procurement, contract-vehicle alignment, consolidated billing, and consumption governance GovDataHosting provides.
๐Ÿ’ณ The Commercial Model

Buying Leverage Without the Markup

๐Ÿท

Cloud at Cost

Your consumption is passed straight through. You see exactly what the certified provider charges โ€” no hidden margin on usage.

๐Ÿงญ

Governance Over Variance

The brokerage layer governs and optimizes spend so consumption stays visible and predictable, instead of drifting upward unchecked.

๐Ÿค

One Relationship to Manage

Procurement, vehicle alignment, and billing run through a single federal point of contact โ€” far less overhead than direct, per-provider agreements.

๐Ÿš€ How Brokerage Works

From CSP Selection to Governed Access

A short path from "we need compliant cloud" to provisioned capacity โ€” without the procurement drag.

We help you choose the right FedRAMP-certified provider for your impact level and align the buy to the appropriate federal contract vehicle.

  • Impact-level & boundary review
  • CSP authorization verification
  • Contract vehicle selection
02

Procure Through GDH

GovDataHosting handles the acquisition mechanics and stands up your access, so you skip the months of direct-procurement paperwork.

  • Order placement on your vehicle
  • Account & access provisioning
  • Acquisition documentation
03

Access & Govern

You manage your environment directly while we govern the commercial relationship โ€” consolidated billing, spend visibility, and a single point of contact.

  • Consolidated, at-cost invoicing
  • Consumption governance & visibility
  • Single federal point of contact
โ€œ
Brokerage is for the team that already knows how to run cloud and just needs a clean, compliant way to buy it. We govern the procurement and the spend; you keep the keys to the environment.
