Why the Posit and Carahsoft partnership matters
Government agencies increasingly depend on data science to inform decisions and deliver services. The open source languages R and Python are widely used across the Public Sector and agencies often encounter procurement hurdles when adopting the commercial tools that run those languages securely and at scale. The Posit and Carahsoft partnership addresses that gap by placing Posit’s platform on contract vehicles agencies already hold.
“Partnering with Carahsoft enables us to expand and streamline access to Posit’s AI-powered data science platform across the Public Sector,” said Adam Smith,(opens in new tab) VP of Alliances at Posit. “Carahsoft brings a deep understanding of the Federal procurement landscape. This partnership allows us to meet agencies where they are, making it easier for them to adopt secure, scalable open source solutions while staying compliant with procurement requirements and accelerating their data-driven missions.”
