The DoD ESI aims to streamline the acquisition process for software and services across the DoD, leading to significant cost savings and improved efficiency.

“Being part of the ESI agreement allows us to further our mission of providing the DoD with powerful, flexible, and secure, cloud native Kubernetes and container solutions,” said Paul Smith, CEO of Rancher Government. “Our inclusion is not only a testament to the robustness of our offerings but also aligns with our strategic vision to support critical missions of the United States Government and Military.”

As an ESI SEWP Marketplace provider, Rancher Government will partner with five prime agreement holders to deliver on this vision. Those organizations include FCN IT, GovSmart, Thundercat Technologies, Carahsoft and DLT Solutions LLC.

“We are excited and honored to be given this opportunity to expand how we and our ecosystem partners support the DoD. At Rancher Government we believe that you must meet the customer at their mission and ESI enables us to do that more effectively when engagements move into the procurement phase,” said Dylan Miller, Director of Channels at Rancher Government. “And being SEWP based, the DevSecOps Phase II marketplace will provide an efficient, economical and familiar vehicle that will help our DoD customers accelerate the adoption and deployment of our cloud native technologies.”
