Accrete Partners with TenderAlpha to Enhance Supply Chain Risk Intelligence for Federal Agencies
Introduction
In a significant move to bolster the ability of federal agencies to assess supply chain risks, Accrete has announced a new partnership with TenderAlpha. This agreement integrates TenderAlpha's extensive data into Accrete's Argus for Supply Chain Influence, providing enhanced visibility for defense and civilian agencies into their supply chains.
The Importance of Supply Chain Visibility
The urgency for improved supply chain visibility across government sectors stems from recent legislative actions and growing concerns about vulnerabilities. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) has prioritized the scrutiny of defense suppliers, urging agencies to deepen their understanding of risks associated with critical supply components, including food, agricultural, and medical products.
Prashant Bhuyan, the Founder and CEO of Accrete, emphasizes that the challenge lies not in merely collecting data but in interpreting it effectively.
