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.
