# Carahsoft Expands Synology SLED Access

Synology America and Carahsoft established a channel agreement making Synology storage, backup, data-protection, and surveillance solutions available to state, local, and education buyers through cooperative purchasing contracts, including TIPS #220105, OMNIA Partners #R240303, E&I Cooperative Services, and The Quilt. The arrangement offers agencies and reseller partners an established purchasing route; it does not announce a new competitive solicitation or contract value. A hands-on procurement and product event is scheduled for December 7, 2026, at the Carahsoft Conference & Collaboration Center in Reston, Virginia.

- Agencies and resellers can evaluate whether the listed cooperative vehicles fit their purchasing needs for storage, backup, data protection, or surveillance solutions.
- The December 7 event provides an opportunity to review the products and procurement options in person; inquiries about Synology solutions can be directed to Synology@carahsoft.com or (888) 662-2724.
- Because no new solicitation or contract value is announced, this development is primarily a channel and purchasing-access opportunity rather than a new standalone competition.
