Manifest, a cybersecurity company focused on securing software supply chains, has partnered with Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®. Under this agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Manifest’s Master Government Aggregator®, making its Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) management platform accessible to the Public Sector through Carahsoft’s extensive network of reseller partners and federal procurement contracts, including NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP V) and Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (ITES-SW2).
Enhancing Software Supply Chain Security
As cyber threats targeting software supply chains continue to escalate, government agencies require robust SBOM management to mitigate risks and ensure compliance with federal cybersecurity mandates. Manifest’s all-in-one SBOM platform provides end-to-end lifecycle management—from generation and storage to sharing—helping organizations ship more secure code, respond swiftly to vulnerabilities, and procure safer technology solutions.
“Carahsoft’s strong presence in the Public Sector and expertise in delivering leading cybersecurity solutions to agencies is key to supporting our mission of helping the Government effectively manage their software supply chain risk,” said Marc Frankel, CEO of Manifest. “We are thrilled to partner with Carahsoft to expand our reach in the market.”
