Overview

• Agencies can opt in through 2026 for one year of access to Google’s government-tailored AI suite, which includes Gemini models, NotebookLM, Veo, enterprise search, and prebuilt agents for Deep Research and Idea Generation, plus image and video generation.
• Google says the offering runs on its cloud programs and that individual components carry FedRAMP High authorization, while the overall platform compliance strategy is still being evaluated.
• The agreement expands GSA’s OneGov procurement push and follows recent $1-per-agency, one-year deals with OpenAI and Anthropic, which were added to the GSA purchasing schedule alongside Google.
• Procurement concerns are mounting as Ask Sage has lodged bid protests against earlier OneGov AI deals, arguing deep discounts risk vendor lock-in and run afoul of competition and pricing rules.
• Long-term costs remain uncertain because Google has not specified post-trial pricing, echoing terms in which agencies must either move to paid agreements after a year or cease access; the move builds on GSA’s prior 71% Google Workspace discount and new tools like the USAi test sandbox.
