3 independent trails. The first alone settles the claim; the rest exist so you can cross-check us.
What you’ll find: Microsoft's current bar for direct-bill status — trailing-12-month CSP revenue at the partner global account level, an active support contract, and annual reassessment; partners who miss it are moved to indirect reseller.
Our Partner Center Eligibility Dashboard (Account settings) on 2026-09-14: 'IT Partner LLC (Office 365 Solutions) - Austin TX — Direct Bill · Authorized'; 'Direct Bill Authorization Status — Authorized', 'You have completed all 5 requirements', last updated by Microsoft Sep 7, 2026, reassessed annually in January. Organization-level (PGA) requirements 3 of 3 met: revenue (at least USD 1 million trailing-12-month CSP revenue), at least one Solutions Partner designation, an active Microsoft support plan. Enrollment-specific requirements 2 of 2 met: Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program enrollment with an active MAICPP agreement, and the security requirements (admin MFA, a designated security contact, alerts answered within 24 hours). Captured 2026-09-14.
