Anthropic expands its OneGov deal with the US GSA: 40% off Claude for all levels of government, with usage-based pricing
Anthropic and the US General Services Administration (GSA) on October 27 expanded their OneGov deal: government buyers get 40% off Claude Enterprise, Claude for Government and the Claude API, paying per token with no minimum, now open to state, local, tribal and territorial governments. Anthropic says ~500 US government bodies use Claude and puts savings at $1 billion (vendor estimate).
Why it matters
It replaces the $1-per-user Claude OneGov offer expiring Oct 31 with usage-based pricing, mirroring OpenAI's OneGov deal last month, as government AI buying shifts from seats to tokens.
