Overview

  • GSA added Google’s government-focused Gemini platform to its purchasing schedule, offering access for a year at $0.47 per agency.
  • The suite includes Gemini models, enterprise search, NotebookLM, Veo, prebuilt Deep Research and Idea Generation agents, plus video and image generation capabilities.
  • Google says components meet FedRAMP High requirements, while the compliance posture of the overall platform remains under evaluation.
  • The discount follows $1 OneGov deals for OpenAI and Anthropic as agencies begin pilots, with longer-term pricing for Google’s offer yet to be determined.
  • Critics including Ask Sage have filed protests warning of potential vendor lock-in, even as GSA notes the offer currently runs on Google Cloud services.
