Federal agents on Tuesday searched the Washington-area offices of Carahsoft Technology Corp., a major distributor of information technology products to government agencies, according to people familiar with the matter.
FBI and Defense Criminal Investigative Service agents were seen at Carahsoft’s headquarters in Reston, Virginia, collecting documents and employee computers, said John Weiler, chief executive officer of the IT-Acquisition Advisory Council. Because of his work in the government technology contracting space, Weiler said he was informed of the search by multiple people with direct knowledge of it.
