The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has cleared OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic to provide artificial intelligence tools to civilian federal agencies, a move expected to fast-track AI adoption across government.

The addition of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Anthropic’s Claude to the GSA’s Multiple Award Schedule means agencies can now access the models under pre-negotiated contract terms, avoiding months of individual procurement talks. GSA officials said the systems were vetted for performance and security, though contract terms were not disclosed.

“We’re not in the position of picking winners or losers here,” said GSA Deputy Administrator Stephen Ehikian. “We want the maximum number of tools. There’s going to be different tools for different use cases.”

Enforcement will be handled on an agency-by-agency basis, GSA officials said.

Several departments, including Treasury and the Office of Personnel Management, have already expressed interest in using the platform for tasks such as fraud detection, grant review, customer service chatbots, and summarizing public comments on regulations.

“This is a race, and we’re going to win this race,” said Josh Gruenbaum, commissioner of the GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service.
