CAI, a global services firm, has secured a NASPO ValuePoint® Master Agreement to help state and local governments adopt AI-enabled and emerging technologies faster without the delays of traditional procurement cycles. The agreement provides public sector organizations with streamlined procurement, accelerated timelines, and flexibility to scale technologies as their needs evolve.

Why it matters

The public sector's average buying cycle is 22 months, yet AI capabilities can improve performance by double-digit percentages within 12 months. This agreement aims to eliminate lengthy RFP processes that inhibit innovation, allowing government agencies to respond more quickly to citizens' needs and cybersecurity threats.

The details

Through the NASPO ValuePoint® contract, CAI will offer public sector organizations a single contract for all their digital needs, including AI deployments, cloud infrastructure, and software licensing. This is expected to move projects from approval to deployment in weeks rather than quarters, eliminating 6-18 months of traditional RFP cycles.

  • The NASPO ValuePoint® Master Agreement was secured in March 2026.
