Government tier — agency pivot, audit export, roadmap
The Government tier is the procurement path for federal agencies. It is sales-led and priced per agency or contract vehicle, with every capability limit uncapped.
Two things are Government-only and live in the product today: the agency-pivoted layout and self-service audit-log export. Several security capabilities agencies often ask about — PIV-CAC sign-in, FIPS mode and AWS GovCloud residency — are on the roadmap and are not live today. Single sign-on is not offered on any tier. This page says which is which.
What is live today
| Capability | Government tier today |
|---|---|
| Limits | Uncapped: members, personas, watches, saved-search alerts, alert rules, pWin, RFP shred and MCP calls |
| FedGrade Network | Depth 3 |
| Agency-pivoted layout | An agency selector in the top navigation; the active agency becomes the default filter for the Brief, search and the Network |
| Audit log | Self-service export of your workspace's audit log as CSV or JSONL from /audit-log, up to 100,000 rows per export, with a completeness verdict on every download |
| Sign-in | Email and password, the same as every tier |
| Encryption | TLS 1.2 or newer in transit; AES-256 at rest by our hosting providers |
| Hosting | United States — Supabase us-west-1 for the database, Vercel functions in sfo1 |
The audit log is append-only for workspace users — there is no update or delete path — but it is not a cryptographic hash chain. See Audit log for exactly what it records.
On the roadmap — not live today
- PIV-CAC sign-in. Not available. When it is delivered it will be set up jointly with your agency's identity team during onboarding.
- Single sign-on. Not offered on any tier.
- FIPS mode. Not available. No FIPS-validated cryptographic modules are deployed and the product does not enforce a FIPS mode today.
- AWS GovCloud residency. Not available. All tiers run in the commercial US regions listed above.
- Streaming the audit log to a customer-owned storage bucket. Not available; the CSV/JSONL download above is the export path.
Ask sales for the current status of any of these before relying on them in an ATO package.
Agency pivot
When the agency-pivoted layout is enabled for your workspace, the top navigation shows an agency selector limited to your allowed agencies. The selected agency becomes the default agency filter on /today, /search and /network. You can switch agencies at any time; the choice is remembered in your browser.
Procurement
Government purchases run through a contract negotiated with sales. A GSA Schedule listing is planned but not yet in place — ask sales for the current contract-vehicle options. Sales provides our security documentation: a self-attested control baseline aligned to NIST 800-53 Moderate. FedRAMP authorization is something we plan to pursue with a first agency sponsor; FedGrade is not FedRAMP authorized today.
Email justin@fedgrade.com with your agency name, expected number of users and ATO timeline to start the conversation.
