GSA Secures Cost Savings Through Strategic Agreement
with Google
Reduced government-wide pricing on MAS represents milestone in GSA’s efforts to
consolidate, reduce waste, and save taxpayer dollars
WASHINGTON The US. General Services Administration (GSA) reached a landmark
agreement with Google to lower the costs of Google products and services for the federal
government. Through this strategic partnership, Google will offer Workspace to every federal
agency at a temporary price reduction of 71% off of the current Multiple Award Schedules
Program (MAS IT) pricing, regardless of transaction size. The Workspace agreement marks a
step forward in GSA’s work with Google and other companies to create cost savings for the
federal government.
The agreement establishes pricing based on the volume of the entire government rather than
the lower discounts previously available through separate agreements on an agency-by-
agency or transactional basis. This common-sense pricing model reflects GSA’s growing role
as a central hub for government procurement, leveraging the full purchasing power to
negotiate cost savings, reduce redundancy, and streamline IT acquisition. Historically,
agencies may have been able to secure discounts through individual negotiations. Rather
than relying on fragmented, agency-by-agency negotiations, the agreement ensures uniform
pricing and standardized terms across the federal enterprise.
“Google will now approach the federal government as one unified customer—and President
Trump’s GSA is working hard on this collaboration to turn that recognition into real savings to
secure lower prices for best-in-class technology across all federal agencies,” said GSA
Acting Administrator, Stephen Ehikian. “By working closely with industry leaders like
Google, we will continue to lower the cost of IT while providing improved experiences for the
American taxpayers and the federal government.”
“This new deeper discount reflects Google’s willingness to treat the federal government as a
single, unified customer. Now, every federal agency can benefit from enterprise-level pricing
—no matter how small the order,” said GSA Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner,
Josh Gruenbaumv “All federal agencies will now be offered volume discounts at the scale of
government. This agreement marks a milestone in GSA’s ongoing initiatives to lower IT costs,
enhance IT acquisition efficiency, optimize collaboration tools, and strengthen cybersecurity
across agencies.”
GSA’s Information Technology Vendor Management Office (ITVMO) is working with Google to
expand competitive pricing for its Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services, further enhancing
the federal government’s ability to leverage innovative technology at optimal cost in support of
its mission objectives. The temporary Workplace pricing arrangement on MAS expires on
September 30, 2025.
