A new OneGov agreement between the General Services Administration and Anthropic will provide the federal civilian executive, legislative and judiciary government branches with access to Claude for Enterprise and Claude for Government for only a dollar.
Under the agreement, all eligible participating branches will gain up to a year of access to the Anthropic offerings for a nominal fee, including the company’s frontier models with continuous updates as new capabilities are released. The company will also provide agencies with technical support to help them implement artificial intelligence into their productivity and mission workflows, GSA said Tuesday.
Accelerating Government AI Adoption
Claude for Government aims to deliver responsible AI with FedRAMP High and Department of Defense Impact Level 5 authorizations for mission-critical workflows, allowing federal workers to use Claude for sensitive unclassified work.
“OneGov is revolutionizing how the federal government acquires AI technology — delivering unmatched value, accelerating modernization, and opening the door for America’s best AI companies to work at the scale our nation demands,” said GSA Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum, a 2025 Wash100 Award recipient. “This agreement with Anthropic is another major step in the AI-driven transformation of government — advancing efficiency, boosting productivity, and ensuring we meet the priorities laid out in President Trump’s AI Action Plan.”
The agreement is expected to help position the United States as the global leader in government AI adoption by enabling the federal workforce to harness the power of AI to modernize operations, improve decision-making and deliver better results for taxpayers.
“As they explore the most powerful ways to leverage this transformative technology, the federal government shouldn’t have to choose between capability and affordability when it comes to AI,” said Thiyagu Ramasamy, Anthropic’s head of public sector. “With this offer, we are removing barriers so organizations in all three branches of government can harness the same advanced AI tools that are already driving transformation in the private sector.”
