In a surprising move that blends patriotism with practicality, OpenAI is teaming up with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to provide ChatGPT Enterprise to every federal agency for just $1 over the next year.
Yes, that’s right. One dollar.
Look, this is not some stripped-down or trial version, folks. It’s full access to ChatGPT Enterprise, including the most advanced features like Deep Research and Advanced Voice Mode. Agencies will also get a 60-day window of unlimited premium access, giving public servants powerful tools to streamline daily work.
As a proud American and AI enthusiast, I have to say, it’s refreshing to see OpenAI and Sam Altman take such a patriotic approach. In an industry often driven by profit and flash, it’s rare to see a company give the government this kind of access just to make things better for public workers.
This initiative builds on successful pilot programs. In Pennsylvania, employees using ChatGPT saved nearly an hour and a half each day on repetitive tasks. In North Carolina, most users walked away with a positive experience. Whether it’s managing complex budgets or handling routine communications, AI is proving to be a useful tool for real government work.
OpenAI isn’t just dumping software and walking away. They’re backing this with training, education, and support through partners like Slalom and Boston Consulting Group. There’s also a dedicated community for government users and learning paths through OpenAI Academy to help employees get up to speed.
Security is covered too. The GSA has officially granted an Authority to Use for ChatGPT Enterprise, and OpenAI says none of the inputs or outputs will be used to train their models. That level of protection is critical when dealing with sensitive information.
Any agency interested in signing up can reach out to the National Customer Service Center or contact OpenAI directly. At a dollar per agency, there’s really no excuse not to.
