On October 6, 2026, Aperio Global and Carahsoft announced that Carahsoft will make Aperio’s cognitive infrastructure solutions available to public-sector buyers through its reseller network and existing federal and cooperative purchasing vehicles. The offerings include AI-based information analysis, spatial intelligence, space-weather insights, and post-quantum cryptography planning.

- Buyers can access the offerings through vehicles including NASA SEWP V, Army ITES-SW2, NASPO ValuePoint, TIPS, and OMNIA Partners; procurement teams should confirm applicable vehicle scope and ordering terms before purchasing.
