New York and Reston, Va. – September 28, 2026 -- LeapXpert and Carahsoft Technology Corp. have signed a partnership that puts governed messaging tools into the hands of Federal, State and Local Government agencies, closing a compliance gap created by employees' use of consumer apps like WhatsApp and Signal for official business.
Carahsoft becomes Master Government Aggregator for LeapXpert's platform
Under the agreement, Carahsoft will distribute The LeapXpert Communications Platform through its reseller network and four contract vehicles: The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS Contract #220105), OMNIA Partners (Contract #R240303), E&I Cooperative Services (Contract #EI00063~2021MA) and The Quilt (Master Service Agreement Number MSA05012019-F).
Agencies face a widening gap between employee communication habits and federal record-keeping law
Government officials increasingly use WhatsApp, Signal, iMessage and SMS to communicate with colleagues and constituents, but many agencies lack systems to capture and archive those conversations as required under National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) rules, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) obligations and federal security mandates. Without governed capture, records of these exchanges often exist only on personal devices, outside institutional oversight.
LeapXpert platform captures and governs conversations across consumer channels in real time
The platform applies policy and governance to communications as they happen across channels employees already use, rather than after the fact. LeapXpert reports hundreds of enterprise customers and hundreds of thousands of users across 50 countries, spanning financial services, government and Forbes Global 2000 companies.
LeapXpert co-founder calls government its fastest-growing segment
"Federal employees are already having these conversations on WhatsApp and Signal. Until now, the record of them lived on a personal phone, outside every system meant to protect it," said Avi Pardo, Co-Founder and CBO at LeapXpert. He said demand from government customers is outpacing what a direct sales approach can handle, making Carahsoft's agency relationships and contract reach necessary to scale delivery.
Carahsoft frames deal as meeting federal security and compliance mandates
Brian O'Donnell, Vice President of Cybersecurity Solutions at Carahsoft, said the partnership gives agencies a scalable path to integrate governed messaging while meeting federal security and compliance requirements, working alongside Carahsoft's reseller and value-added partner community.
