McLean, Va. – October 12, 2026 -- Fedstack, a Smoothstack company that develops software engineering talent for government technology, has been named an OpenAI Select Partner within the OpenAI Partner Network.
OpenAI network gives Fedstack a channel to build and deploy AI solutions
The OpenAI Partner Network is a global program that lets partners build, sell and deliver AI solutions with OpenAI. It combines partners' industry expertise, delivery capabilities and customer relationships with resources, enablement and support aimed at helping enterprises adopt OpenAI frontier models and products.
As a Select Partner, Fedstack will keep working with OpenAI to help organizations build, deploy and scale AI solutions responsibly. That work centers on putting GPT-6 Astra to work across more of a business, using deeper reasoning and computer use to complete complex workflows and deliver finished work.
Fedstack ties the partnership to workforce readiness for federal agencies
Fedstack applies a workforce development lens, training software engineers to use AI securely and responsibly within the standards and constraints of government technology. Christopher Coligado, Executive Vice President and Federal Business Lead at Fedstack, said the partnership lets the company train engineers on the same AI technology its government customers are adopting.
Every Fedstack engineer earns the Full Stack AI Engineer credential by demonstrating capability across four independent measures:
- Technical skills
- Leadership
- Agile delivery
- Federal immersion
For government technology organizations, the credential gives a clearer signal of what an engineer has demonstrated before arriving on a project.
Fedstack plans deeper OpenAI integration in engineer training
Fedstack intends to deepen how OpenAI technology is incorporated into its engineer development model and to expand AI-focused enablement. The company also plans to keep building the software engineering talent that federal technology organizations need as AI adoption accelerates.
