Anthropic expanded its OneGov agreement with the U.S.
- General Services Administration on October 27th, offering government buyers a 40% discount on Claude usage and dropping minimum purchase commitments.
- The company is using lower, usage-based pricing to widen government access after a year of disruption to its federal purchasing status, according to the report.
- The agreement covers federal, state, local and tribal governments, and Anthropic says territorial governments are also eligible.
- Agencies can buy directly, through resellers or on major cloud platforms.
- The deal puts Anthropic in direct competition with other AI providers, while the scale and durability of agency adoption remains to be demonstrated.
