GSA Partners with Google to Offer Federal Agencies 71% Discount on Workspace Tools

The agreement includes AI assistant Gemini, the first FedRAMP High authorized AI tool, as part of a cost-saving initiative set to expire on September 30, 2025.

• The General Services Administration (GSA) and Google announced a temporary 71% discount on Google Workspace for federal agencies, valid until September 30, 2025.
• The initiative is part of broader government reforms under the Trump administration aimed at reducing federal spending and streamlining IT procurement.
• Google Workspace now includes Gemini, the first AI assistant to receive FedRAMP High authorization, ensuring secure use in government operations.
• The pricing model leverages the purchasing power of the entire federal government, moving away from fragmented agency-level agreements.
• If adopted government-wide, the discount could generate up to $2 billion in cost savings while challenging Microsoft's dominance in the government software market.
