What is changing?
Anthropic expanded its OneGov agreement with the US General Services Administration to offer 40% discounted access to Claude Enterprise, Claude for Government and the Claude API across all levels of government. The new terms cover state, local, tribal and territorial governments in addition to federal agencies.
According to the company, the discount is available immediately for direct purchases, with access through cloud providers planned for the coming months. The agreement has no minimum-spend requirement and uses pay-as-you-go pricing. Anthropic also says it will provide a dedicated implementation program for agencies.
Anthropic reports that roughly 500 US government organizations use Claude, while weekly active users of Claude for Government have increased eightfold since February and federal civilian usage has grown about twentyfold in a year. These are company-reported figures; agencies still need to validate security authorizations, data classifications and procurement eligibility.
