SOVRA Named to the 2026 GovTech 100 for Advancing the Future of Public Procurement

Latham, NY — February 5, 2026 — SOVRA today announced its inclusion in the 2026 GovTech 100. Published annually by Government Technology, the GovTech 100 recognizes companies driving meaningful, measurable innovation across state and local government.

SOVRA’s inclusion underscores its differentiated ecosystem approach: combining public-sector-native technology, a broad and engaged supplier community, industry-leading integration capabilities, and managed services expertise to support procurement as a strategic function.

“Having spent much of my career in GovTech, I’ve seen firsthand how difficult and important it is to build solutions that truly work for government,” said Tom Spengler, Chief Executive Officer of SOVRA. “This recognition reflects the progress SOVRA is making, alongside our customers, to support transparency, accountability, and real operational improvement. That kind of progress is what ultimately moves the public sector forward.”

Over the past year, SOVRA has continued to invest in its platform and product roadmap to support the full procurement lifecycle, from sourcing and supplier engagement through contract management and purchasing. These investments are designed specifically for government environments to support audit readiness, operational efficiency, and stronger collaboration across agencies and with the supplier community.

“Our product roadmap continues to accelerate,” said Mike Cook, Chief Product Officer at SOVRA. “We’re focused on building practical, next-generation capabilities that help procurement teams reduce manual work, improve visibility, and make better decisions across the procurement lifecycle. What’s most compelling is seeing these investments translate into measurable operational gains for agencies and stronger, more effective collaboration with suppliers. And this is just the beginning.”

As SOVRA celebrates this recognition, we remain deeply committed to fostering long-term partnerships with the public sector.

The GovTech 100 list is curated by Government Technology’s editorial team and is widely regarded as a definitive index of companies shaping how government operates. To learn more about the GovTech 100 list, visit GovTech Blog about the Top 100.
