Anthropic Expands GSA Partnership, Offering 40% Discount on All Claude Products to Government

Anthropic is expanding its partnership with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), offering government partners a 40% discount on Claude Enterprise, Claude for Government, and the Claude API through a new agreement. The discount covers all product forms and extends to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments. Anthropic says the agreement is expected to save the government $1 billion, with agencies paying only for actual usage and no minimum purchase commitment required; currently about 500 U.S. federal, state, and local government organizations use Claude, and Claude for Government's weekly active users have grown about 8x since February. Anthropic has also launched a dedicated program to help agencies implement Claude, and says Claude for Government became generally available on September 30 with FedRAMP High authorization.
