Technology procurement has long been one of the biggest hurdles for federal agencies. Each office negotiates its own contracts, often for the same tools, leading to wasted time, duplicative spending, and unnecessary complexity. The General Services Administration (GSA) created OneGov to change that.
OneGov is a government-wide framework of pre-negotiated enterprise agreements. It gives agencies faster access to vetted technology, steep discounts, and consistent terms for security and compliance. In practice, it means agencies can adopt new tools without reinventing the procurement process every time.
OneGov During the Government Shutdown
The OneGov IT program continues to operate during the shutdown, keeping its negotiated technology agreements and procurement pathways available to agencies. Existing contracts and pricing remain in effect, allowing federal teams to maintain access to tools that support daily operations and long-term modernization efforts. Some agencies may experience temporary limits on their ability to initiate new purchases or projects until full funding and staffing resume.
How OneGov Works
OneGov agreements are designed to address the biggest barriers to technology adoption in government:
- Enterprise-level contracts: Negotiated once by GSA, available to all agencies.
- Standardized compliance: Security, privacy, and accessibility terms baked in.
- Significant discounts: Savings typically range from 70% to 90%, with some enterprise AI tools priced at $1 or less per agency.
- Faster adoption: Agencies can order from existing agreements rather than starting from scratch.
Why OneGov Matters
OneGov ensures agencies don’t have to reinvent procurement every time they want to try a new tool.
- For agencies: Reduces procurement delays, ensures tools are secure and compliant, and lowers costs significantly.
- For vendors: Provides a pathway to scale quickly across multiple agencies under one consistent framework.
- For taxpayers: Delivers efficiency, prevents redundant spending, and accelerates modernization without compromising oversight.
By consolidating contracts and building in oversight, OneGov creates a path for government to adopt AI responsibly, at scale, and at speed.
