Can you deploy a Office Add-in with SCCM (now MECM)?

Good Day,

We have a client that uses SCCM to deploy Excel to their users and according to them, they package other add-ins with Excel so that when it's installed they have access to these add-ins.

We have an Office Add-in (specifically Excel), not the VSTO or COM add-ins, a web Office Add-in: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/overview/office-add-ins

I've done some research and I'm struggling to find a solid answer as to if it's possible to deploy the add-in with SCCM? So far my deduction is no, but I thought let me confirm with the professionals.

And then is there any other solution on how to deploy the add-in otherwise?
Please note the following restrictions on their end

  1. Locked the Office store, users cannot download and install an add-in from the Office store
  2. Don't have access to the Admin Center to deploy the add-in

Thank you
Vivian
