Marketplace Listing

The Marketplace Listing rules define how FedRAMP decides which cloud service offerings, assessors, and advisors may be listed in the FedRAMP Marketplace. These rules help agencies and other customers rely on the Marketplace as a consistent source of eligible services and supporting organizations, while requiring listed organizations to supply accurate, accessible, and machine-readable information.

Provider Responsibilities for Initial Implementation Phase Listings

FedRAMP allows cloud service providers that are actively preparing to obtain a FedRAMP Certification to apply for listing in the FedRAMP Marketplace. All cloud service providers must obtain a Initial Implementation Phase Marketplace Listing before they can apply for FedRAMP Certification. These rules apply to providers seeking a Initial Implementation Phase listing in the FedRAMP Marketplace.

Agency Use Cases

Changelog:

  • 2026-06-30: Initial reset for the Consolidated Rules for 2026 Public Preview.

Providers MUST demonstrate that a cloud service offering is intended for one of the following use cases:

  1. Direct Use: The product will be used directly by agency customers for integration into a federal information system that falls within the scope of 44 USC ยง 3506 and will receive an agency Authorization to Operate.
  2. Indirect Use: The product will be included as a third-party information resource in other cloud service offerings that are directly used by agency customers.

Notes:

  • FedRAMP will not list products or services that are outside the explicit statutory scope of FedRAMP; See MKT-FRP-SOF (Scope of FedRAMP).
  • Services used by private companies to meet other compliance requirements (such as CMMC) that do not also meet one of the above use cases are outside the scope of FedRAMP.
