YEAR-ONE ESTIMATE
READY IN 60 DAYS
Published year-one band $75,000 to $130,000
Microsoft licensing is extra: about $2,167 in year one for 3 users at the July 2026 GCC High reseller list, $722.40 each. The median is the published first-year spend for a small defense contractor, about $116,000, from 2026 market writeups. DoD’s own small-entity Level 2 estimate is $105,000 to $118,000 over three years, and that is the certification cycle, not this build. A C3PAO assessment fee is not in the CUI Track number.
AI add-ons
Three tiers on top of any CUI Track enclave. The stand-up is inDirectIT’s; Microsoft and Azure are billed as pass-through.
TIER 1 OF 3
Flows only. No Studio agents, no Copilot seats, no models on CUI.
Enclave licensing Stays on Microsoft 365 Business Premium with the Defender and Purview Suite
Fit A first enclave, where the ISSO wants motion without a chat surface.
TIER 2 OF 3
Enable, plus native agents your people can ask.
Enclave licensing Moves to Microsoft 365 G5 (GCC High)
Fit BD and AP work lives in the enclave, and you will seat the control-plane roles.
TIER 3 OF 3
Native, plus one Azure Government Foundry agent and an operations layer.
Enclave licensing Moves to Microsoft 365 G5 (GCC High)
Fit Multi-entity companies, factories, or enclaves already on Native.
Microsoft licensing, billed by Microsoft on an annual commitment, and your C3PAO assessment fee. Work on systems outside the enclave stays with you or your MSP.
At the public reseller list as of July 2026: Microsoft 365 Business Premium for GCC High at $35.80 per user each month, plus the Defender and Purview add-on at $24.40. Together $60.20 per user each month, or $722.40 per user each year. A partner quote can differ.
Express compresses the same four stations into 14 days. It takes dedicated engineering time up front. The enclave, the user rate, and compliance management are the same.
Ready for an assessment or for a self-attestation: the enclave built, the named users onboarded, and the evidence held current.
