pQCee Partners With Carahsoft to Expand Government Reach
Singapore-based pQCee will offer its post-quantum cryptography products to public-sector buyers through Carahsoft as its Master Government Aggregator.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Quantum Computing
pQCee Pte Ltd and Carahsoft Technology Corp. announced a strategic partnership on October 29 to expand availability of pQCee's quantum-safe cybersecurity solutions to government agencies. Carahsoft will serve as pQCee's Master Government Aggregator, offering the products through reseller partners and TIPS and OMNIA Partners contracts.
Why it matters
Government agencies are preparing for the transition to post-quantum cryptography to reduce the risk of harvest-now, decrypt-later attacks on sensitive data. The partnership gives public-sector buyers a purchasing route for quantum-safe encryption without a separate procurement process.
pQCee's products use quantum-safe encryption for email, mobile and web data, and incorporate crypto-agility so encryption can be modernized in phases. The announcement does not specify algorithms, key sizes, or performance benchmarks.
The players
pQCee Pte Ltd
A Singapore-based company that provides post-quantum cryptography and quantum-safe cybersecurity solutions for sensitive data, email, mobile and web environments.
Carahsoft Technology Corp.
A Reston, Virginia-based technology aggregator that sells software and hardware to government agencies through reseller partners and purchasing contracts.
The details
Carahsoft will act as Master Government Aggregator, making pQCee's solutions available through its reseller network and through The Interlocal Purchasing System and OMNIA Partners contracts. The solutions secure sensitive data exchanges and support phased encryption modernization that does not require replacing existing infrastructure.

Roadmap
Executive Order 14412 sets the federal direction toward post-quantum cryptography, and this partnership is one commercial channel for agencies to act on it. It reflects a broader shift from research-stage quantum-safe security toward procurement-ready products for public-sector buyers.
Agencies that buy through the TIPS or OMNIA Partners contracts can procure pQCee's products without running an independent bid. Individuals are affected indirectly, as government systems holding their data are upgraded to quantum-safe encryption.
The takeaway
Organizations holding long-lived sensitive data should begin assessing their encryption exposure now, since data captured today may be decrypted once quantum systems mature. Phased, crypto-agile upgrades are a practical starting point that avoids replacing whole systems at once.
