Leading Python distribution platform preferred by thousands of government users for providing complete visibility over the AI application development lifecycle expands access to all DoW agencies
AUSTIN, TX (September 23, 2025) — Anaconda Inc., the leader in advancing AI with open source, today announced that it has achieved “Awardable” status in two notable government marketplaces, the Platform One (P1) Solutions Marketplace and Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace, signaling its deep commitment and ability to serve Department of War (DoW) agencies. The P1 Solutions Marketplace showcases solutions that address the government’s greatest requirements in hardware, software, and service solutions while the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace serves as the DoW’s suite of tools and services designed to accelerate the procurement and adoption of AI/ML, data, and analytics capabilities.
The DoW is rapidly adopting AI and machine learning to improve decision making, automate processes, and enhance mission capabilities. However, teams are often held back by limited data management and AI skills, constant security risks in open source software, and a lack of governance over the AI development lifecycle. Government agencies are increasingly relying on Anaconda for its standout capabilities to meet these challenges head-on, and as a trusted partner to develop, govern, and deploy their own AI models. With Anaconda’s cohesive enterprise-grade Python distribution and governance tools, government agencies can deploy AI initiatives that address the most critical, sensitive operational challenges impacting citizen services, military readiness, and national infrastructure.
Anaconda’s government success stems from addressing the unique intersection of open source AI development and enterprise security requirements. The Anaconda AI Platform delivers hand-curated, vulnerability-scanned packages with enterprise support; fine-grained control over software licensing and risk profiles; comprehensive software bill of materials (SBOM) tracking for complete supply chain transparency; and full support for air-gapped, classified environments—all while maintaining the flexibility and innovation potential that makes open source the cornerstone of modern AI development.
“Our inclusion in the P1 and Tradewinds Marketplaces affirms our commitment to providing the public and private sector alike with the tools to utilize open source safely and at scale,” said Laura Sellers, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Anaconda. “We’re honored to be trusted by government agencies as a go-to for secure AI application development as a TRL Level 9 organization, and this recognition allows us to further our goal of ensuring a secure and robust ecosystem for open source AI development.”
Anaconda was recognized among a competitive field of applicants whose solutions demonstrated innovation, scalability, and potential impact on DoW missions and remains the only DoW-proven Python distribution used across multiple government labs and agencies. Anaconda’s video, “Secure AI/ML for Department of War (DoW) Environments,” demonstrates how the Anaconda AI Platform solves real-world DoW challenges. The video is accessible to government customers on both the P1 Solutions and Tradewinds Solutions Marketplaces.
