# Carahsoft Expands Cybersecurity Access

Carahsoft has expanded its partnership with WaveStrong and will serve as the master government aggregator for WaveStrong cybersecurity, managed IT, and CMMC readiness services. Public-sector buyers and Defense Industrial Base organizations can access the offerings through NASA SEWP V, TIPS, OMNIA Partners, and E&I purchasing vehicles. The package includes CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 readiness, Zero Trust services, security assessments, incident response, and Espresso Labs’ AI-enabled continuous compliance platform. No contract value, solicitation number, or specific award was reported, so this represents an expanded purchasing channel rather than a new contract award.

- Procurement teams can use the listed vehicles to explore access to the services; contractors supporting the Defense Industrial Base may find the CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 capabilities relevant to their readiness needs.
- The November 5, 2026 CMMC event provides an opportunity to learn about the offering; as of October 9, it is 27 days away.
- WaveStrong and Carahsoft solutions inquiries can be directed to 703-871-8548 or Wavestrong@carahsoft.com.
