On October 27, 2026, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and Anthropic announced the expansion of the OneGov agreement, under which government buyers receive a 40% usage-based discount on Claude Enterprise, Claude for Government, and the Claude API, with eligibility extended from the federal government to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments. The agreement sets no minimum purchase volume; agencies pay only for actual usage and can order through direct sales, resellers, and major cloud platforms. Anthropic says about 500 U.S. federal, state, and local government agencies use Claude, and weekly active users of Claude for Government have grown roughly eightfold since February 2026. Other reports say the previous $1-per-person federal Claude offer will expire on October 31, with the 40% discount replacing that program and set to extend in the coming months to orders procured through cloud providers.
