Amazon Bedrock is the AWS managed-foundation-model service that gives buyers access to Anthropic, Mistral, Meta, Stability, Cohere, Amazon Titan and other model families through a single API and a single commercial surface. The procurement question is what the on-demand-versus-Provisioned-Throughput boundary looks like on the deployed workload, how the model-by-model token pricing reads against the use cases, how custom-model unit hours work, how the Agents and Knowledge Bases economics overlay onto the inference cost, and how the spend draws against the AWS EDP commitment. This 22-page paper sets out the Bedrock commercial scope, the commitment-design methodology, the model-by-model reading, the IP indemnification position and the renewal posture inside the AWS commercial cycle. Buyer-side. Independent. Gated.

Bedrock prices on two distinct constructs that the buyer-side procurement methodology must read independently. The on-demand construct meters inference calls at a per-million-token rate against the model family, with separate input-token and output-token pricing and a context-window pricing differential on the larger context-window variants. The Provisioned Throughput construct prices a dedicated allocation of inference capacity (measured in model units) at a flat hourly rate, with a defined one-month or six-month commitment.
The break-even between the two constructs is the load-bearing arithmetic. Where the trailing-week inference volume sits below a defined threshold (which varies by model family but typically sits at the 30 to 40 percent utilisation range for a Provisioned Throughput unit), the on-demand construct is favourable. Above the threshold, the Provisioned Throughput construct is favourable. The methodology models the break-even explicitly against the deployed inference profile rather than against the marketing forecast.
The procurement methodology Admodum applies inside the AWS practice runs the Bedrock workload through a defined break-even read, against the model family and the use-case-specific inference profile. The break-even output is the commitment design; the commitment design is the procurement instrument; the commitment design carries into the EDP commitment alongside the wider AWS spend.
This paper sets out the nine-section Bedrock protocol Admodum applies inside the AWS commercial cycle, with the on-demand-versus-Provisioned-Throughput design, the model-by-model reading, the EDP interaction and the renewal posture each carried through to the closing position.
