Groundbreaking Agreement Delivers AI
Predictive Risk Intelligence for Resilient Federal Supply
Chains
ARLINGTON, Va.,
June 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Interos, the pioneering supply
chain risk intelligence company, today announced a transformative
five-year contract with the U.S. General Services Administration
(GSA). The agreement extends the company's cutting-edge technology
to all Department of Defense (DoD) and civilian agencies, with
direct access to Interos' industry-leading supply chain risk
management (SCRM) platform.
The groundbreaking contract solidifies Interos' position at
the forefront of supply chain resilience for national security and
competitiveness. It builds upon the company's agency-wide
deployments with the U.S. Navy, Missile Defense Agency (MDA),
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Health and
Human Services (HHS), and other mission-critical organizations.
"This award offers a tremendous growth opportunity for Interos
and SCRM leaders across the Public Sector. We are privileged to
assist our long-standing government partners in fortifying
mission-critical supply chains using breakthroughs in applied AI
and machine learning," said Ted
Krantz, CEO of Interos. "In today's volatile environment,
federal leaders require AI predictive analytics to anticipate
disruptions before they impact national security. This agreement
delivers the advanced supply chain risk intelligence agencies need
to build responsive supply chains resilient to emerging
threats."
Under the new contract vehicle, federal agencies can quickly
gain the ability to continuously monitor, model, and mitigate
threats across the defense industrial base. Leveraging Interos'
supply chain risk intelligence, government decision makers can
continuously map their global multi-tier supplier networks across a
myriad of emerging threats with greater speed and accuracy. This
supplier ecosystem transparency enables proactive identification
and mitigation of risks spanning foreign ownership, sanctions,
cyber, financial, geopolitical, catastrophic, governance, and ESG
factors.
"Interos' selection represents a paradigm shift in how the
federal government approaches supply chain resilience," said
Norbert Jocz, VP Public Sector at
Interos. "We are providing agencies with a unified, AI-driven
capability to gain real-time visibility and actionable intelligence
across their supplier ecosystems to safeguard military readiness
and protect critical infrastructure. This revolutionary
approach empowers the government to act in advance of emerging
crisis, identify hidden threats, and dynamically optimize
mitigation strategies to assure supply chain resilience."
Interos continues to redefine supply chain risk management,
evolving organizations from foundational visibility and monitoring
to applied AI for predictive and tailored intelligence. This
next-generation capability lays the path forward to prescriptive
analytics for intelligent, responsive supply chain
orchestration.
The GSA establishes long-term government-wide contracts allowing
agencies to access these and other advanced technologies from
pre-qualified vendors. Interos' technology is offered through its
partnership with Carahsoft, The Trusted Government IT Solutions
Provider. By collaborating with multiple departments to implement
Interos as an enterprise SCRM platform, Carahsoft's GSA Schedule
facilitates streamlined platform acquisition, empowering leaders to
quickly strengthen and scale SCRM capability across the federal
enterprise.
"Carahsoft is committed to bolstering supply chain risk
intelligence and resilience across the Public Sector," said
Alex Whitworth, Supply Chain Risk
Management Lead at Carahsoft. "Our federal customers face
unprecedented global volatility posing substantial risks to
essential government functions. By partnering with Interos, we
deliver streamlined access to AI-powered predictive risk management
– a game-changing capability for protecting national security
supply chains."
