Expanding AI access and cyber defense for federal, state, local, and tribal governments
OpenAI and GSA agreed to provide ChatGPT to federal, state, local, and tribal governments with $0 licenses, 50% off usage, and cyber-defense access.
OpenAI for Government and the U.S. General Services Administration announced a 27-month agreement (October 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028) waiving the $15 per-user monthly license fee and cutting usage costs 50% for federal, state, local, and tribal agencies. More than one million government employees already have ChatGPT access, with eligibility extending across a roughly 23 million-person U.S. public-sector workforce. Every verified government entity is approved for Daybreak Blue cyber-defender access at 50% off, with Daybreak Red available for vulnerability research, exploit validation, and red teaming at standard pricing. The deal builds on the $1 billion Daybreak for Frontline Defenders commitment announced the prior week.
