CLEARWATER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tech Data (Nasdaq: TECD) today announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire DLT Solutions, a premier software and cloud solutions aggregator focused on the U.S. public sector. Upon closing of the transaction, DLT will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Tech Data. The acquisition is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close during Tech Data’s fourth fiscal quarter.

Headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, DLT is a government solutions aggregator that accelerates public sector growth for business partners that serve the federal, state and local markets. DLT creates value by providing access to a robust network of channel partners and a broad portfolio of more than 50 in-house contract vehicles.
“We are thrilled to join the Tech Data team,” said Art Richer, chief executive officer at DLT Solutions. “This acquisition combines our public sector expertise and capabilities with a leading Fortune 100 company known for creating value across the technology ecosystem. It represents an opportunity to apply our unique public sector value proposition to a broader set of vendors and partners.”
