Microsoft and GSA Agreement Delivers Cost Savings to the U.S. Government
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced an update to its OneGov Strategy through a recent agreement with Microsoft to provide discounts across its suite of cloud and AI services, including Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure, Cloud Services and Dynamic 365. Microsoft 365 copilot will be available at no cost for up to 12 months for existing Microsoft G5 users.
According to the Information Technology Vendor Management Office, the OneGov Strategy is a comprehensive plan to transform how government buys everything. Think of it as the federal government acting as one buyer to cover all purchasing power on software and technology to secure massive cost savings and thereby reducing administrative burden.
For over four decades, Microsoft has partnered with the U.S. government. This recent agreement includes the no-cost Microsoft 365 copilot offer, projected to saves over $3 billion in the first year.
In a note, the GSA Deputy Administrator Stephen Ehikian expressed that the department is proud to partner with Microsoft to advance AI adoption across the federal government, a key priority of Trump administration. He urged federal partners to leverage this agreement to streamline operations and enhance results.
