The U.S. General Services Administration has entered into an agreement with Adobe to significantly minimize software costs across federal agencies.
GSA said the strategic partnership is part of the agency’s OneGov strategy, an initiative aimed at revolutionizing government procurement processes to reduce government expenditures.
GSA-Adobe Partnership Aims to Cut Costs for Services
Under the agreement, Adobe will offer its Paperless Government Solution at 70 percent less than the current listed GSA price until Nov. 30. This substantial discount is intended to help agencies streamline operations by eliminating manual workflows, limiting paper-related expenses and enhancing service efficiency. The offering is available through GSA’s Multiple Award Schedule.
The agreement will expand to include hardware, platforms, infrastructure, cybersecurity services and other areas. GSA plans to collaborate with other agencies and industry partners to implement the initiative. The agency will eventually become the central hub for government-wide shared IT services.

GSA Acting Administrator Stephen Ehikian, said, “This agreement with Adobe is another example of GSA leading a transformative change in how the federal government buys goods and services, with a focus on commercial products.”
“Businesses are working with us as partners, making deals that reduce costs and increase efficiencies for the federal government and American taxpayers,” said Josh Gruenbaum, Federal Acquisition Service commissioner and 2025 Wash100 Award winner. “In addition to Adobe, we’re seeing even more businesses at the negotiating table and expect that others will soon follow.”
