After the launch of OpenAI and Anthropic, Google has introduced its discounted Gemini AI subscription plans for U.S. government employees. The Mountain View giant has introduced a “Gemini for Government” plan, which is priced at just USD 0.50 per government agency for a year. This new plan has been announced in collaboration with the US General Services Administration (USGSA) under the OneGov agreement.
The new plan aims to provide U.S. government employees with a suite of AI along with cloud services, all while expanding the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technology within government agencies.
This plan will consist of Google’s cloud services, the latest Gemini models, as well as agentic solutions to support government agencies. Allowing employees to use all the latest Google AI technology to optimize daily workflows at almost no cost.
The federal employees can take advantage of other AI capabilities and AI tools, such as enterprise search, NotebookLM, Veo, AI agents for Deep Research, and more.
A blog post by Google Cloud also stated that Gemini for Government authority is built on FedRAMP High-authorised security and compliance features that protect confidential data, processes, as well as projects. Its built-in security features also include Identity and Access Management, basic threat protection, AI threat protection, data privacy, SOC2 Type 2 compliance, and more.
Executive Statement
According to Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in an X post, more than a model, it’s their complete AI platform with the latest AI tools, including NotebookLM and Veo, powered by our latest models and their secure cloud infrastructure, at virtually no cost.
According to Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum, GSA appreciates Google’s partnership and they are excited to add the comprehensive ‘Gemini for Government’ AI solution to OneGov.
