The General Services Administration has entered into an agreement with Google to accelerate the adoption of cloud and artificial intelligence across government.
The agency announced Thursday that Google will provide access to its comprehensive Gemini for Government AI offering at a discounted price.
GSA-Google Agreement Supports Government Initiatives
The agreement is part of GSA’s OneGov strategy to streamline the acquisition of goods and services across government to standardize terms and pricing.
“GSA’s OneGov Strategy provides a streamlined path for delivering American AI products across the federal government, and ‘Gemini for Government’ will equip agencies with innovative AI tools and advanced cloud infrastructure to accelerate their missions,” Karen Dahut, CEO of Google Public Sector and a four-time Wash100 awardee, said. “This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our partnership with GSA, reaffirming our commitment to providing modern, efficient and scalable cloud solutions that empower government agencies to better serve the American people.”
The partnership between the company and GSA is in line with America’s AI Action Plan, an effort to ensure that the United States maintains global leadership in AI.
“GSA is delivering on the President’s AI Action Plan and helping agencies access powerful American AI tools to optimize daily workflows and create a more efficient, responsive, and effective government for American taxpayers,” commented Josh Gruenbaum, commissioner of the Federal Acquisition Service and also a Wash100 recipient. “Critically, this offering will provide partner agencies with vital flexibility in GSA’s marketplace, ensuring they have the options needed to sustain a strong and resilient procurement ecosystem.”
The agency previously made similar deals with Box, OpenAI, Anthropic and Amazon Web Services.
