2026 Virginia Power 50 List: CRAIG P. ABOD
PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER, CARAHSOFT TECHNOLOGY, RESTON
Virginia Business //March 1, 2026//
Since Abod founded Carahsoft in 2004, the privately owned IT and cybersecurity solutions provider has grown to land the No. 20 spot on Forbes’ 2025 list of the nation’s largest private companies, with more than $18.9 billion in revenue and 2,100 employees.
Abod’s company has notched several large contract wins in recent years, including an Air Force contract with a maximum value of $510 million awarded in September 2025.
Carahsoft was the focus of two federal probes in recent years, including the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission’s investigation into a $32 million deal between Carahsoft and CrowdStrike to provide cybersecurity tools to the Internal Revenue Service, but the IRS never purchased the items.
The FBI raided Carahsoft’s headquarters in 2024 as part of a separate probe into whether the firm conspired with German software company SAP to fix prices on sales to the U.S. military and government customers. SAP said the raid was unrelated to that business. The DOJ under the Trump administration has not made any current announcements regarding the investigations.
