Nextgov/FCW’s Christian Robles on OneGov, AI, Medicaid tech and Flock cameras

And with that in mind, let's talk OneGov.

Some agreements needed to be renewed as fiscal year 26 ends and FY27 begins.

Update us on who signed for what and anything that's new in these renewals.

So at the end of fiscal year 2026, so today, Wednesday, September 30th, there were three deals that were supposed to expire.

There was a deal with Anthropic for Claude, Google for Gemini, and OpenAI for ChatGPT.

And all of those deals have either been extended or there's a new deal in place.

So let's start with OpenAI, just to pick on them for a second.

Since they announced their OneGov deal in 2025, they've allowed agencies to have access to ChatGPT for $1 for the entire agency.

And that deal is expiring today.

And tomorrow, a new deal kicks in.

And under that new deal, agencies will have free access to ChatGPT platform.

And they'll have a 50% discount on consumption-based usage of ChatGPT.

So that's one example of where we're at.

The other one is with Anthropic.

Their deal for Claude, it hasn't been rewritten.

It's just been extended to October 31st.

And then with Google Gemini, that deal has just been extended through November 15th.

So that's the state of play.

I think the big thing that we need to look out for is with Anthropic and with Google, if there's going to be a bigger, more long-term deal in the vein of what we've seen with OpenAI.

Any clarity on why Google and Gemini is only to November 15th?

I honestly don't know.

I don't have any insider knowledge.

But if I had to guess, they probably want more time for a longer term deal.

You know, GSA officials have been very clear that they want longer term extensions with the partners in the OneGov program.

And they want these people or excuse me, these companies to ultimately become contractors on the GSA schedule.
