Euna Solutions®, a leading provider of purpose-built, cloud-based software for the public sector, has been named to the 2026 AI 50 by the Center for Public Sector AI (CPSAI), a trusted brand of e.Republic. The recognition honors organizations advancing the responsible application of artificial intelligence to improve operations, strengthen decision-making, and deliver measurable outcomes across government, education, nonprofit organizations, and the private sector.

"This recognition reinforces the value that practical, responsible AI can deliver to public sector organizations and the communities they serve," said Tom Amburgey, CEO at Euna Solutions.

Euna Solutions was selected in the Private Sector category for embedding responsibly governed AI directly into the financial workflows that public-sector professionals use every day. Through Euna AI, the company helps public sector organizations automate repetitive tasks, identify risks sooner, and improve operational efficiency while preserving human oversight. Public-sector financial operations—spanning procurement, grants administration, budgeting, and payments—have historically been paper-intensive and compliance-heavy, making them strong candidates for AI-assisted automation, though adoption has lagged the private sector due to stringent transparency, procurement regulation, and accountability requirements.

Euna's responsible AI strategy is guided by its Euna AI Council and aligned with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, a voluntary U.S. government framework released in January 2023 that provides structured guidance for identifying, assessing, and managing AI-related risks. The company develops AI capabilities designed to support, rather than replace, human judgment.

Euna's software supports more than 3,600 public sector organizations across North America, helping them manage more than $589 billion in public funds and $995 billion in grants, while processing more than $47.7 billion in procurements and $15.1 billion in payments.

Customer results include:

• More than $6.8 million in procurement savings generated through AI-powered Savings Advisor
• A 92% reduction in the time required to generate procurement solicitation summaries
• Five times faster invoice processing with 99% AI transcription accuracy

"Government teams need tools that save time, reduce manual work, and help them make better decisions without giving up control," said Amburgey. "That is what we are building with Euna AI. This recognition reinforces the value that practical, responsible AI can deliver to public sector organizations and the communities they serve."

CPSAI cited the 2026 honorees as evidence that public sector AI is moving beyond experimentation toward responsible implementation and measurable outcomes. The recognition comes as federal, state, and local agencies face growing pressure to modernize legacy systems and demonstrate return on technology investments, with AI increasingly seen as a tool to address workforce shortages and rising service demands.

"The 2026 AI 50 marks an important turning point for the public sector. Organizations have moved past AI philosophy and scanning for 'what's possible.' These honorees are focused on proving what's achievable through responsible implementation, setting standards for measurable outcomes for the communities they serve. They are demonstrating for others how to iterate, partner, and write operational AI playbooks," said Rob Lloyd, Executive Director of the Center for Public Sector AI.

Euna continues to expand its AI capabilities across procurement, budgeting, grants, and payments. Earlier this year, the company acquired GrantExec, strengthening its AI-powered grants portfolio while continuing to invest in new innovations. The GrantExec acquisition reflects a broader pattern of consolidation in the govtech market, where established providers are acquiring AI-native startups to accelerate feature development in competitive bidding.

Euna also released its State of AI in the Public Sector report, which found that while most government organizations are exploring AI, relatively few have deployed it broadly, highlighting the need for practical, governed solutions that deliver measurable value. The findings align closely with the AI 50's focus on responsible AI implementation and public sector impact. As more vendors compete to embed AI into government workflows, the distinction between experimentation and measurable deployment—alongside adherence to frameworks like NIST's—is likely to become a key differentiator for both buyers and recognition programs like the AI 50.
