Carahsoft will distribute Credo AI's governance platform as its Master Government Aggregator®.
The platform will be available via key contracts like NASA SEWP V, ITES-SW2, and NASPO ValuePoint.
The partnership aims to help government agencies deploy AI with measurable trust and compliance.
Credo AI's platform aligns with standards like the NIST AI RMF and OSTP guidance.
It provides tools for AI auditing, bias detection, policy enforcement, and lifecycle oversight.
This partnership directly addresses the growing need for robust governance frameworks as government agencies rapidly integrate AI technologies. Credo AI's platform is designed to help public sector organizations manage AI risk, ensure accountability, and maintain compliance with emerging federal guidance and standards, such as those from NIST and the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP).
Alok Panigrahy, Head of Channel Sales and Partnerships at Credo AI, emphasized the partnership's strategic importance. “Partnering with Carahsoft is a significant step forward in our mission to bring measurable, trustworthy AI to the Public Sector. As Government agencies increasingly adopt AI technologies, they face mounting pressure to demonstrate measurable trust, risk management and accountability across AI systems."
The Credo AI platform enables agencies to move from theoretical AI principles to operational, evidence-based governance. Key capabilities include codifying and enforcing AI policies, monitoring model usage across departments, and managing the entire AI lifecycle with continuous oversight. Built-in tools for bias detection, fairness evaluation, and transparency reporting aim to provide the auditable controls necessary for high-stakes public sector applications.
Carahsoft's role will be crucial in facilitating access and driving adoption. “The addition of Credo AI’s platform to our portfolio will enable faster AI adoption, stronger risk management and measurable business value for Government agencies,” said Michael Adams, Program Executive for AI Solutions at Carahsoft. “We are dedicated to driving demand for this platform through our reseller partners and ensuring our joint customers have the information and support they need to effectively deploy and leverage these solutions.”
The collaboration makes Credo AI's solutions available through major government procurement contracts, including NASA SEWP V, ITES-SW2, NASPO ValuePoint, TIPS, and OMNIA Partners. This streamlined access is designed to reduce procurement friction and accelerate the deployment of governance tools that can help public sector entities meet expectations for adopting advanced, even agentic, AI with appropriate precision and control.
This partnership represents a significant channel expansion for Credo AI, positioning its governance software as a foundational component for public sector AI strategies, ensuring that innovation is matched with responsible oversight and alignment with public trust objectives.
