Computacenter has struck a deal to acquire Government Acquisitions Inc (GAI), a US value-added reseller focused on the federal government sector, in a move that opens up a significant new growth avenue for the technology and services group.
The deal, worth an enterprise value of up to $92m, has already been cleared by the US foreign investment regulator CFIUS and is expected to be completed on 1 June 2026.
Computacenter will make an initial cash payment of $63m, with further performance-based payments of up to $29m, payable through the end of 2027. The acquisition is being funded from existing cash and is expected to be immediately earnings accretive.
Cincinnati-based GAI gives Computacenter a foothold in the US federal government market, a sector that has been difficult to break into.
Mike Norris, CEO of Computacenter, said: “We are proud of the relationships we have built with public sector customers across Europe and Canada and are delighted to have the opportunity to bring one of the leading US federal government VARs into Computacenter. GAI provides us with access to a new market for growth in the United States, diversifies our business and leverages our growing capabilities and infrastructure.”
The business brings over 35 years of experience, around 90 staff and deep relationships across federal agencies. It was named Nvidia’s US Public Sector Partner of the Year for 2025, a notable credential given the surging demand for AI infrastructure across government.
In 2025 GAI reported gross invoiced income of roughly $390m and adjusted EBITDA of about $8m.
