Fedstack, a Smoothstack Company, Named an OpenAI Select Partner

Partnership advances how Fedstack develops software engineers prepared to put AI to work across government technology.

MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fedstack, a Smoothstack company focused on developing software engineering talent for government technology, today announced that it has been named an OpenAI Select Partner within the OpenAI Partner Network.

The OpenAI Partner Network is a global program for partners to build, sell, and deliver AI solutions with OpenAI. It brings together partners with deep industry expertise, delivery capabilities, and customer relationships while equipping them with resources, enablement, and support to help enterprises adopt OpenAI frontier models and products and turn them into measurable impact.

As an OpenAI Select Partner, Fedstack will continue working with OpenAI to help organizations build, deploy, and scale AI solutions responsibly and effectively. This work will help organizations put GPT-6 Astra to work across more of their business, using deeper reasoning and computer use to complete complex workflows and deliver finished work. Fedstack brings a workforce development lens to that work, developing software engineers prepared to apply AI securely and responsibly within the standards and constraints of government technology.

"As an OpenAI Select Partner, we can develop engineers using the same advanced AI technology our government customers are adopting," said Christopher Coligado, Executive Vice President and Federal Business Lead at Fedstack. "Agencies need people who know how to put AI to work responsibly in environments where the stakes, standards, and security requirements are high."

Fedstack's model is built around a simple principle: readiness has to be demonstrated, not assumed. Every Fedstack engineer earns the Full Stack AI Engineer credential by proving capability across four independent measures: technical skills, leadership, Agile delivery, and federal immersion. For government technology organizations, that creates a clearer signal of who is prepared to contribute in AI-enabled environments and what they have actually demonstrated before they arrive.

Looking ahead, Fedstack plans to deepen how OpenAI technology is incorporated into its engineer development model, expand AI-focused enablement, and continue building the software engineering talent federal technology organizations need as AI adoption accelerates.
