Not to be outdone by the makers of ChatGPT and Claude, who each agreed to sell their services to the government for $1 per agency, Google has agreed to even deeper discount terms, pitching its various government-capable AI products for just $0.47 per agency, valid through 2026.
The half-a-buck Google AI deal is part of the General Services Administration's OneGov purchasing strategy that seeks to streamline the purchasing of products for federal agencies. Agencies looking to add some Google Gemini AI to their operations, for instance, won't need to establish new terms with Google under the $0.47 deal. Instead, they simply agree to terms previously negotiated on behalf of the whole federal government by the GSA.
Everyone wants to lure Uncle Sam!
