OpenAI, Google, Anthropic AI models added to government purchasing system
Artificial intelligence (AI) models from OpenAI, Google and Anthropic have been added to a government purchasing system, allowing federal agencies to buy and use the AI products.
The General Services Administration (GSA) announced Tuesday that ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude had been added to the agency’s Multiple Award Schedule for purchase.
“America’s global leadership in AI is paramount, and the Trump Administration is committed to advancing it,” GSA acting Administrator Michael Rigas said in a statement.
“By making these cutting-edge AI solutions available to federal agencies, we’re leveraging the private sector’s innovation to transform every facet of government operations,” he continued.
This follows the addition of xAI’s Grok to the GSA schedule, which it announced last month after unveiling a new suite of products for U.S. government customers and scoring a Pentagon contract alongside the three other tech firms.
The agency pointed to President Trump’s "AI Action Plan" for the new additions to its purchasing system. The AI framework, released last month, called for accelerating AI adoption in the federal government.
It specifically advocated for the creation of an AI procurement toolbox managed by the GSA that would "allow any Federal agency to easily choose among multiple models in a manner compliant with relevant privacy, data governance, and transparency laws.”
The recommendations for federal AI adoption represent one small portion of Trump’s wide-ranging action plan, which also called for limiting state and federal regulations, fast-tracking permitting for data center and energy construction and creating export packages of U.S. technology.
