Carahsoft to Help DoD Manage IT Assets Through Enterprise Software Initiative; Craig Abod Quoted

Carahsoft Technology has been chosen to provide software and related services from eight vendors to the Department of Defense, the U.S. Coast Guard and intelligence communities as part of a potential $820.4M blanket purchase agreement.
