QuickLaunch and Carahsoft Partner to Bring AI-Powered Identity and Integration Platform to the Public Sector and Higher Education Organizations
MIAMI and RESTON, Va., Nov. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QuickLaunch and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced a new channel partnership. Through this agreement, Carahsoft will serve as QuickLaunch’s Master Government Aggregator®, making the company's Single Sign-On, Multi-Factor Authentication, Identity Lifecycle Management and 500+ pre-built integrations available to the Public Sector and Higher Education organizations through Carahsoft's reseller partners and The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), OMNIA Partners, E&I Cooperative Services Contract and The Quilt contracts.
"Carahsoft is an essential part of QuickLaunch's strategy to support more than 2 million student logins by the end of 2027,” said Raymond Todd Blackwood, President of QuickLaunch. “Their ability to expedite our products and services through complex State procurement requirements is essential for us to quickly launch a secure and simple student experience, and their marketing and account teams provide the insights and connections we need to fuel our rapid growth in Higher Education."
QuickLaunch is built specifically for Higher Education, connecting identity and integration around the academic lifecycle rather than retrofitting enterprise software for campus environments. Trusted by more than 200 institutions and 1.2 million daily users, the platform delivers SOC 2 Type II, HECVAT, TX-RAMP, GLBA and NIST-compliant identity and integration infrastructure – purpose-built for Banner, Colleague, Canvas and the full Higher Education technology stack. This partnership makes it easier for Higher Ed IT teams to access and deploy that technology through a procurement channel they already trust.
“We are pleased to add QuickLaunch to Carahsoft’s cybersecurity portfolio and expand the solutions we can offer to Higher Education and Public Sector organizations,” said Brian O’Donnell, Vice President of Cybersecurity Solutions at Carahsoft. “QuickLaunch’s purpose-built approach to identity, access and integration addresses critical security and technology needs across Higher Education. Alongside QuickLaunch and our reseller partners, we are making QuickLaunch’s solutions more accessible and helping to deliver secure, streamlined digital experiences for students, faculty and staff.”
QuickLaunch's platform is available through Carahsoft's TIPS Contract #220105, OMNIA Partners Contract #R240303, E&I Contract #EI00063~2021MA and The Quilt Master Service Agreement Number MSA05012019-F.
