Critical Trust Infrastructure for the Agentic Era Now Accessible to All Federal Government Agencies
LONDON and RESTON, Va., Sept. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nuggets, a leader in decentralized identity solutions, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced that Nuggets' innovative human and non-human identity platform has been added to Carahsoft’s General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule. This addition enables Carahsoft and its reseller partners to provide Nuggets' platform to Federal Government agencies.
"Being awarded a position on the GSA Schedule represents a significant milestone for Nuggets and validates our commitment to supporting Federal agencies' digital transformation initiatives," said Seema Khinda Johnson, Co-Founder and CCO of Nuggets. "This contract addition will enable Government agencies to directly procure our trust layer for safe and scalable agentic AI deployment, while maintaining the highest standards of security and compliance, including NIST IAL2 and IAL3 if required and AAL2 requirements."
Federal agencies face mounting pressure to modernize identity management systems while combating an emerging identity authenticity crisis. In the age of AI, traditional models of trust, built around human intent, static credentials and institutional oversight, no longer apply. As agentic AI systems become more autonomous, agencies must determine the identity and integrity of the agents they interact with. The speed, scale and opacity of AI-driven interactions expose critical gaps in identity verification, data integrity and accountability.
As agentic AI adopts more responsibility – ranging from interacting, transacting and making decisions – agencies face a critical challenge: establishing trust. While protocols such as Agent-to-Agent (A2A) and Model Context Protocol (MCP) facilitate coordination between agents and tools, they lack an essential layer that secures identity, intent and authorization, especially when handling personal or transaction data. Nuggets addresses these challenges by providing a purpose-built layer on top of agent protocols, securing the entire value chain of AI agent interactions.
The platform's comprehensive architecture includes:
- Sovereign Identity for verifiable, persistent digital identity for humans, business and AI agents.
- Authentication and Authorization with granular, action-level verification.
- Privacy-Preserving Personal Data Handling with full control and consent.
- Multi-Rail Payments enabling agents to process transactions safely across traditional and emerging payment systems.
- Human-in-the-Loop with secure approval workflows and real-time authorization for AI agent actions requiring human oversight.
- Compliance with privacy-by-design architecture and built-in regulatory requirements across CCPA, GDPR, PSD2, AML/KYC/KYB and emerging AI governance standards.
"With the addition of Nuggets to our GSA contract, Government agencies have access to next-generation identity solutions that address both current security challenges and emerging requirements for AI governance," said Tyler Nelson, who manages the Nuggets Team at Carahsoft. "As agencies start to deploy AI to drive operational efficiency, the Nuggets Trust Layer plays a critical role. Carahsoft and its reseller partners are pleased to offer these innovative solutions to the Public Sector."
