  • Partnership Announcement

Data science and AI for the public sector, on contracts you already hold

Posit, the enterprise data science company, has named Carahsoft its Master Government Aggregator. Federal, state, and local agencies, along with education and healthcare organizations, can now acquire Posit's platform through NASA SEWP V and OMNIA Partners contract vehicles and Carahsoft's reseller network. No new procurement process, just a faster path from evaluation to production.

Why agencies choose Posit

R and Python are already at work across government, powering everything from public health surveillance to workforce planning. Posit provides the enterprise platform that runs them securely and at scale:

  • Governed open source. Give your teams the open-source tools they rely on, inside a secure, controlled environment that meets your compliance requirements.
  • Your data stays yours. Deploy in your own infrastructure, behind your firewall. Data and code remain under agency control.​​​​​​​
  • From analysis to action. Build, deploy, and share dashboards, models, applications, and reports with decision-makers, without weeks of engineering overhead.​​​​​​​
  • Built to last. Posit is a Public Benefit Corporation. We build widely used open-source tools like RStudio, Shiny, and the tidyverse, and our mission is protected by charter: we will never sell or go public.

Proven in the public sector

NASA uses Posit for strategic workforce planning. NASA's People Analytics team turned a two-week manual "what-if" planning process into minutes with an interactive Shiny application on Posit Connect, letting planners model the skills and staffing missions will need over the next decade in real time.

CDC supports its National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP) BioSense Platform with Posit Workbench, Posit Connect, and Posit Package Manager, enabling open, transparent collaboration for critical public health surveillance and response efforts nationwide.

The Posit platform

  • Posit Workbench™ is the centralized environment where data science teams write R and Python in the tools they already know: RStudio, Jupyter, and VS Code.​​​​​​​
  • Posit Connect™ is how teams deploy, schedule, and share data products, from dashboards and APIs to interactive applications, across an agency or with the public.​​​​​​​
  • Posit Package Manager™ gives administrators control over the open-source R and Python packages available inside their organization, a critical piece of software supply chain security.​​​​​​​
  • Positron™ is Posit's next-generation IDE, purpose-built to take data science work from exploration to production.
