Overview

  • Under the GSA OneGov and Multiple Award Schedule arrangement, Claude for Government and Claude for Enterprise will be available to agencies across the executive, legislative and judicial branches for $1 per agency over a one-year period.
  • The FedRAMP High–certified Claude for Government model supports sensitive unclassified workloads while the enterprise variant offers expanded data protections and access to frontier capabilities.
  • Anthropic will provide technical support and multi-cloud deployment options through partnerships with Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Palantir to help agencies integrate Claude into secure infrastructures.
  • The offer follows Department of Defense awards of up to $200 million to Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and xAI and joins OpenAI’s recent $1 executive-branch deal in a broader push by AI vendors to seed agency use before longer-term procurements.
  • Final participation by Congressional offices and the federal judiciary requires separate sign-offs and remains pending as agencies prepare to onboard during the trial.
