Customers will gain access to the expanded insights in early 2027.\n\n## What the TenderAlpha Data Adds to Argus\n\n[Accrete AI](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000qro/accrete-ai) said the agreement gives defense and civilian agency customers greater visibility into the companies, suppliers and component parts behind the products and systems they rely on. The company said the National Defense Authorization Act requires closer scrutiny of defense suppliers, and that civilian agencies face growing pressure to understand risk in critical food, agricultural and medical product supply chains.\n\nBy combining TenderAlpha data with Argus for Supply Chain Influence, powered by the Accrete Knowledge Engine and its supply chain expert agent, customers will be able to see deeper into sub-tier suppliers and component-part sources, identify risks earlier, including foreign ownership, influence and concentration concerns, support compliance efforts tied to federal sourcing and supply chain requirements including the NDAA, and make faster decisions on sourcing, vendor vetting and mitigation.\n\n\"Supply chain risk isn't a data aggregation problem. It's a judgment and tacit knowledge problem,\" said Prashant Bhuyan, Founder and CEO of Accrete. \"Human expertise doesn't scale fast enough to get ahead of foreign influence threats, and burying analysts under mountains of disconnected data only makes it worse.\"\n\nBill Wall, CEO of Accrete AI Government, said: \"Adding TenderAlpha data gives us greater insight into the obscured vulnerabilities and threats inherent in complex global supply chains. It gives defense and civilian agency teams a robust picture of who is really behind the products and components they depend on, so they can act before a vulnerability becomes a problem.\"\n\nMartin Tsanov, CEO and co-founder of TenderAlpha, said the fusion of TenderAlpha's global B2B relationship and trade data with government contracting and subcontracting data within Argus' multi-tier graph architecture equips national security agencies to proactively identify hidden dependencies and secure critical supply chains.\n\n## Accrete's Funding and Federal Track Record\n\nAccrete AI has raised $79.1 million in total funding across 10 rounds on record, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), with the most recent a $25 million round in March 2025. The same records list a $19.5 million round in April 2024, a $17.5 million convertible note in February 2023 and a Small Business Innovation Research grant in May 2023. The records describe Accrete as a dual-use AI company founded in 2017 with more than eight years of operational deployment with the Department of Defense.\n\n## Earlier Accrete Government Contracts\n\nIn October 2026, an international defense partner renewed its contract for Argus for Cognitive Advantage, extending a partnership that began in 2025, PR Newswire reported. In August 2026, the U.S. Marine Corps awarded Accrete a sole-source contract to license Argus for Cognitive Advantage, an AI platform designed to provide cognitive advantage in information operations, according to PR Newswire. Accrete announced on August 25, 2026 that it was ranked No. 952 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private U.S. companies, with 364% revenue growth over three years, Aijourn reported.\n\n## Early 2027 Access for Argus Customers\n\nAccrete said customers using Argus for Supply Chain Influence will gain access to the expanded TenderAlpha insights in early 2027.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
