Broadcom (AVGO) and IT distributor Carahsoft Technology have landed a five-year, $970 million blanket purchase agreement from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA).
The deal is designed to streamline and consolidate software contracts across multiple Department of War agencies.
The agreement covers private cloud infrastructure, Zero Trust security, and modern application development — all unified under a single contract.
Agencies covered include DISA, Fourth Estate Agencies, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Space Force, and Combatant Commands.
The contract is structured as a VMware by Broadcom DoW BPA and is held by Carahsoft, which serves as an authorized Broadcom distributor. Carahsoft has long been a key partner for Broadcom’s public sector reach.
The deal brings uniform pricing and cost transparency across those agencies — something that has historically been a pain point in government IT procurement.
What the Contract Covers
The agreement is built around VMware Cloud Foundation, Broadcom’s flagship private cloud platform.
It consolidates procurement for cloud infrastructure, tactical edge operations, and application development under one contract vehicle.
Regan McGrath, President of Americas at Broadcom, said the deal helps agencies “accelerate secure digital transformation at scale.”
McGrath also pointed to the agreement as laying groundwork for AI-enabled defense capabilities, describing it as “mission-ready performance” under a unified contract.
Pricing and Market Reaction
AVGO stock was down fractionally in premarket trading on Tuesday, the same morning the deal was announced.
The contract was announced on March 24, 2026, with both companies issuing a joint statement.
At the time of writing, no further financial breakdown of the $970 million agreement has been disclosed beyond the five-year term.
The blanket purchase agreement format allows agencies to order directly under pre-negotiated terms, reducing the time and cost of individual procurement cycles.
DISA serves as the IT backbone for the U.S. Department of War, managing communications and infrastructure for military operations globally.
The deal puts Broadcom deeper into the federal defense stack, adding to existing government relationships across its software portfolio.
