What Is Snowflake Offering to Government Customers?
New federal Snowflake customers will receive a 20 percent discount on computer services and a 26.67 percent discount on storage services. Agencies may also get up to 50 percent reduced consumption costs as usage of Snowflake services increases.
GSA Administrator Edward Forst said the agreement provides agencies with tools that break down data silos.
“With stronger cross-agency data capabilities, we can accelerate AI tools tailored to each agency’s mission,” he stated. “We’re already seeing promising early projects, and through OneGov, GSA is delivering a unified federal approach that saves taxpayer dollars and increases value for the American people.”
What Is OneGov?
Launched in 2025, the OneGov initiative is GSA’s broader strategy to modernize federal procurement by standardizing pricing and acquisition terms across agencies.
According to GSA, OneGov is designed to streamline access to commercial technologies, improve cybersecurity protections and create more transparent pricing structures for government customers.
GSA has signed additional OneGov agreements with Meta, Google, Palo Alto Networks, Broadcom, SAP and Cohesity.
GSA Plans to Set New Rules for AI Procurement in Government
The new agreement comes as GSA pursues reforms on government procurement of AI systems.
In March, GSA issued draft contract terms that would require vendors to grant agencies broad usage rights to AI systems and ensure neutrality in AI-generated outputs. The proposed rules also include transparency requirements related to model training methods, system limitations and protections for government data used in AI systems.
