Should government agencies prioritize adopting cloud-based platforms to manage local critical infrastructure and asset data?
Carahsoft has officially become the public sector distributor for the Pointerra3D geospatial platform in the U.S. and Canada. The partnership enables government agencies to procure the cloud-native tool, which stores and analyzes 3D data to build digital twins of infrastructure.
Why it matters
Government agencies require simplified procurement pathways to adopt cloud-native tools for critical infrastructure management. This partnership addresses those logistical barriers by integrating the platform into established public sector contract vehicles.
Pointerra3D operates as a cloud-native service hosted on Amazon Web Services that facilitates 3D geospatial data analysis. The platform creates digital twins—virtual replicas of physical assets—without the need for specialized desktop software or advanced field hardware.
The players
Carahsoft
A distributor specializing in public sector technology solutions, software, and hardware procurement through government contract vehicles.
Pointerra
The provider of the Pointerra3D cloud-native geospatial data platform designed for managing and visualizing physical infrastructure assets.
The details
The Pointerra3D platform functions by ingesting, storing, and processing 3D geospatial data directly in the cloud. By moving away from local desktop-dependent environments, it allows agencies to generate digital twins—dynamic digital representations of physical infrastructure—for remote management and analysis. Users access these tools through standardized procurement vehicles including NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement V and various cooperative service contracts.

The Tech Race
Carahsoft is aggressively expanding its public sector portfolio through a series of strategic partnerships with specialized technology firms throughout 2026. This move aligns with a broader industry transition toward cloud-native infrastructure tools, a theme set for examination at the upcoming 2026 FedCiv Summit.
Government agencies in the U.S. and Canada can now access the Pointerra3D platform through established contract vehicles like NASA SEWP V. This removes the administrative burden of individual vendor vetting for personnel managing physical asset data and digital twins.
The takeaway
Agencies now have a streamlined procurement route for managing high-fidelity digital twins of physical infrastructure via cloud-native workflows. Observers should track subsequent adoption metrics at future public sector technology summits to gauge the platform's market penetration.
