By aligning digital workflows with the requirements of government work, Autodesk is empowering contractors to build, design, and innovate across federal projects.

Whether delivering infrastructure projects or developing advanced products, federal agencies have traditionally relied on disconnected systems and manual workflows. To help break down these information silos and enable our U.S. federal customers to deliver better project outcomes, Autodesk today announced its commitment to expand the Autodesk for Government portfolio by seeking FedRAMP® Moderate Authorization for products within Autodesk Construction Cloud and Autodesk Fusion.

Building on the FedRAMP authorization achieved in 2024 for Autodesk Docs for Government and Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro for Government, this expansion will bring comprehensive construction management and product design capabilities to federal agencies and contractors working on U.S. government projects. Additionally, the proposed expansion will support Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors pursuing Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance.

Enabling digital transformation across government projects

The expanded Autodesk for Government portfolio will include Autodesk Build, Autodesk Takeoff, Autodesk Estimate, Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro, and Autodesk Docs, delivering unified collaboration, field execution, preconstruction, and project management tools for design and construction projects. In parallel, Autodesk Fusion will continue to invest in realizing a multi-year, government, aerospace & defense roadmap to provide cloud-based product design, engineering collaboration, and product lifecycle management capabilities for manufacturing and design projects to this sector. The expanded solutions will be supported by Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud.

Autodesk recognizes the need to support customers complying with International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Export Administration Regulations (EAR), CMMC, and FedRAMP requirements in today’s complex supply chains. The expanded Autodesk for Government portfolio will enable federal agencies and contractors to modernize workflows across both the built environment and product development while meeting stringent security requirements.

Autodesk Construction Cloud: connecting design through construction

Autodesk Construction Cloud unites workflows across the construction lifecycle, from preconstruction through project closeout and handover–while preserving design intent from the earliest planning and design stages. As Autodesk Construction Cloud joins the Forma industry cloud, teams can further connect design insights to construction execution, enabling them to make informed decisions earlier and reduce downstream risk. With the ongoing significant federal government investments in infrastructure, federal agencies face unprecedented demand for efficient, cost-effective project delivery.

The Autodesk Construction Cloud products that will join the Autodesk for Government portfolio will address critical needs across the project lifecycle:

• Autodesk Docs for Government serves as the common data environment, providing cloud-native document management and collaboration capabilities that keep project information connected across teams, workflows, and phases throughout the project lifecycle.
• Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro for Government provides a secure cloud-based design collaboration tool that enables teams to work together on increasingly complex projects with advanced security requirements.
• Autodesk Takeoff for Government will empower estimators to perform accurate 2D takeoffs and generate automated quantities from 3D models. By leveraging integrated workflows within Autodesk Docs for Government, preconstruction teams can maintain synchronized quantity updates and work from the most current design files.
• Autodesk Estimate for Government will connect takeoff quantities directly to costs, materials, and labor calculations, helping contractors create competitive bids and accurate estimates. Cloud-based collaboration ensures estimating teams stay aligned and work from a single source of truth.
• Autodesk Build for Government will deliver field collaboration and project management tools that connect teams across office, trailer, and jobsite. Construction professionals can manage RFIs, submittals, quality, safety, and closeout workflows in a single, secure cloud platform—reducing risk and improving project outcomes.

Autodesk Fusion: Secure cloud-based product design and manufacturing for government

As projects grow increasingly complex and interconnected, government agencies and contractors are seeking solutions that bridge the worlds of the built environment and product development. Autodesk Fusion extends the Autodesk for Government portfolio to support product design, engineering, and product lifecycle management in a unified cloud environment. The Fusion industry cloud will support the government’s need for strict requirements, controlled access, and audit-ready workflows. Fusion products joining the Autodesk for Government portfolio will include:

• Fusion for Government will enable agencies to design, engineer, and manufacture products within a single cloud-based platform, supporting collaboration from concept through design, simulation and manufacturing while reducing file-based workflows.
• Fusion Contributor for Government will provide secure access to program managers, procurement specialists and other stakeholders the ability to view, markup, and collaborate on designs without requiring CAD expertise.
• Fusion Manage for Government will provide product lifecycle management (PLM) capabilities, to track requirements and provide end-to-end traceability, helping agencies meet compliance and audit requirements.

Autodesk Fusion extends the Autodesk for Government portfolio to support product design, engineering, and product lifecycle management in a unified cloud environment.

Supporting defense industrial base with CMMC compliance

As the Department of Defense implements the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI), defense contractors face increasing pressure to meet stringent cybersecurity requirements. Autodesk is committed to supporting customers’ CMMC compliance needs, helping Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and Department of Defense (DoD) contractors meet their certification requirements while accessing modern, cloud-based design and construction tools.

Learn more about the current Autodesk offerings available to contractors that need to comply with CMMC requirements.

CMMC requirements apply across the defense supply chain, from prime contractors to subcontractors working on DoD contracts. By targeting CMMC compliance alongside FedRAMP authorization, Autodesk is addressing the full spectrum of federal security requirements—enabling contractors to serve both civilian agencies and the Department of Defense with a consistent toolset that supports contractors’ compliance requirements.

By aligning modern digital workflows with the rigorous requirements of government work, Autodesk is empowering contractors to build, design, and innovate in service of some of the nation’s most critical projects.
