The OneGov Price Reset: What Federal Agencies Actually Pay After September 30

The public record supports a two-phase reading: the $1-per-agency ChatGPT Enterprise promotion ends September 30, 2026, while a distinct consumption-based agreement is expected to begin October 1. Zero platform fees do not make all government AI use free.

Measurement technique

How to read this report

  1. 01Use a dated two-phase timeline: Phase 1 from August 14, 2025 through September 30, 2026; Phase 2 expected October 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028.
  2. 02For each phase, separate base price, included allowance, separately chargeable usage, eligibility, products, and ordering route.
  3. 03Classify “free government AI” as unsupported for usage: published terms support a zero platform fee, not zero-cost consumption.
  4. 04Distinguish confirmed public terms from product families or intake options whose discount coverage is not publicly specified.
