The US government moves at a snail’s pace. But that may be over.
Because Trump announced a sweeping plan to slash federal red tape.
GSA Partners with OpenAI for ChatGPT Enterprise
On August 6, 2025, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced a partnership with OpenAI to provide ChatGPT Enterprise to all federal agencies for a nominal fee of $1 per agency for one year, as reported by Fox News Digital.
This initiative, part of the GSA’s OneGov Strategy to modernize federal procurement, aims to integrate advanced AI tools into government workflows.
GSA Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum emphasized that the deployment was thoroughly tested with policymakers and legal experts to ensure responsible use, focusing on automation, process efficiency, and reducing waste, fraud, and abuse.
The partnership aligns with the Trump administration’s AI Action Plan, announced in July 2025, to enhance U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence.
ChatGPT’s Capabilities and Federal Applications
ChatGPT Enterprise, which serves over 700 million weekly users globally, offers conversational capabilities, research with citations, task automation, document summarization, and brainstorming support, according to OpenAI’s Joseph Larson.
The GSA deal provides federal employees access to these tools, along with a 60-day period of unlimited use of advanced features like Deep Research and Advanced Voice Mode.
To support adoption, OpenAI is offering tailored training through its OpenAI Academy and a government user community, with additional support from partners like Slalom and Boston Consulting Group.
The initiative aims to bridge the gap between private sector AI advancements and federal capabilities, ensuring agencies can leverage cutting-edge technology to improve public service delivery.
Security and Strategic Goals
OpenAI emphasized that ChatGPT Enterprise prioritizes security, with no business data used to train or improve its models, a safeguard extended to federal use.
The GSA issued an Authority to Use (ATU) for the platform, ensuring compliance with federal security standards.
The partnership supports the Trump administration’s AI Action Plan, which focuses on empowering American workers, ensuring AI systems remain free of ideological bias, and protecting U.S. technologies from misuse, as outlined by AI and crypto czar David Sacks.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman noted that providing AI tools to federal workers enhances government efficiency and service delivery, aligning with the goal of maintaining U.S. dominance in the global AI race, further supported by initiatives like the $500 billion Stargate project for AI infrastructure.
