I am not sure exactly what you are asking.

If you want to get FCC certification for your device, there is a process it
is documented at the FCC web site here:
https://www.fcc.gov/engineering-technology/laboratory-division/general/equipment-authorization

That pretty much outlines the steps. If you are using a manufacturer
supplied radio stack you may be able to leverage their certification but if
you wrote your own stack you will need to do the authorization
independently. There are a number of consultancies in the US who will
handle the process for you (for a fee of course). A long time ago (2006) I
was on a project that needed such certification and the vendor hired
charged $50,000 and it took four months to complete. They did all the
required paperwork and followed up on all of the questions the FCC had,
they also flew out an engineer to an FCC certified test facility to get the
verification tests done. (I live in the San Francisco bay area and the FCC
testing facilities around here are typically reserved months, if not years,
in advance it seems).
