OpenAI has entered into a partnership with the General Services Administration to offer its ChatGPT Enterprise for a $1 annual fee in 2026 to each federal agency under the GSA’s OneGov strategy on standardized terms and pricing for government purchases of goods and services.
“We encourage other American AI technology companies to follow OpenAI’s lead and work with us, as GSA’s OneGov continues to modernize and streamline government operations,” said GSA Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum, a 2025 Wash100 Award recipient.
He also noted that the partnership with OpenAI supports the White House’s America’s AI Action Plan by easing federal agencies’ access to AI tools for improving productivity and efficiency.
ChatGPT Services for Federal Subscribers
The discounted 2026 ChatGPT pricing will be available to federal agencies through the GSA’s Multiple Award Schedule. Federal subscribers will gain access to a new user community with introductory training features, as well as custom-designed platforms for guided learning. OpenAI will also provide the federal users an additional 60-day unlimited access to advance models, such as Deep Research and Advanced Voice Mode.
Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, conveyed the company’s pride in the GSA partnership. “One of the best ways to make sure AI works for everyone is to put it in the hands of the people serving our country,” the company’s head remarked.
