GSA Adds OpenAI, Google and Anthropic to Federal AI List With $1 ChatGPT Offer

Government agencies can now tap pre-approved AI models at a token fee under a framework designed to protect sensitive data.

Overview

  • The General Services Administration officially added OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude to its Multiple Award Schedule for civilian agencies.
  • OpenAI will offer ChatGPT Enterprise to each executive-branch agency for $1 per year, including 60 days of unlimited access to advanced features like Deep Research and Advanced Voice Mode.
  • GSA evaluations confirmed that the three AI models meet stringent performance and security standards, and OpenAI has pledged not to use agency inputs or outputs to train its models.
  • Anthropic is preparing a comparable $1-per-agency offer for its Claude model, and Google’s Gemini is now accessible to federal buyers under pre-negotiated MAS terms.
  • The initiative fulfills core pillars of President Trump’s AI Action Plan by speeding procurement, enforcing data privacy and mandating ideological neutrality.
