Darwin AI and Carahsoft Partner to Deliver AI Governance and Visibility Platform to State and Local Government Agencies
AI Adoption and Compliance Solutions Now Available to the Public Sector
AUSTIN, Texas, and RESTON, Va., April 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Darwin AI, a provider of AI governance, visibility and compliance solutions for Public Sector organizations, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced a partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Darwin AI’s Master Government Aggregator®, making the company’s AI governance and visibility platform available to State and Local Government agencies through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint, The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) and OMNIA Partners contracts.
“Public Sector leaders are under increasing pressure to ensure artificial intelligence is deployed responsibly and transparently,” said Noam Maital, Co-Founder and CEO of Darwin AI. “Partnering with Carahsoft allows us to expand access to Darwin AI’s governance platform and help agencies implement AI with the visibility, oversight and compliance they need.”
As artificial intelligence adoption accelerates across Government agencies, leaders face increasing pressure to ensure AI usage remains compliant with State laws, internal policies and public accountability requirements. Darwin AI addresses this challenge by providing agencies with real-time visibility into AI usage across departments, including approved tools, embedded vendor AI features and unapproved “shadow AI.” By operationalizing governance and aligning AI usage with applicable policies and regulatory frameworks, agencies can proactively manage risk, support audit readiness and maintain public trust.
Darwin AI delivers these capabilities through Darwin Govern™, which establishes enterprise-wide AI visibility and policy-aligned oversight, and Darwin LaunchPad™, which enables agencies to develop mission-focused AI use cases within defined governance guardrails.
“Darwin AI empowers agencies with structured governance tools, reducing risk while supporting responsible innovation,” said Michael Shrader, Vice President of Intelligence and Innovative Solutions at Carahsoft. “The company’s solutions help agencies adopt and manage AI tools while maintaining compliance and accountability. Carahsoft and our reseller partners look forward to working with Darwin AI to bring its AI visibility and control capabilities to the Public Sector.”
Darwin AI’s solutions are available through Carahsoft’s Texas DIR-CPO-5687, NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement #AR2472, TIPS Contract #220105 and OMNIA Partners Contract #R240303.
