The US General Services Administration is flogging discounts of up to 64 percent under a OneGov Agreement covering Broadcom's VMware portfolio - though the actual hypervisor that made VMware famous isn't included. The framework covers VMware Tanzu Platform, Tanzu Data Intelligence, Avi Load Balancer, vDefend, and the Tanzu AI Starter Kit. Notably absent: VMware vSphere Foundation, the virtualization platform most agencies actually use.

The General Services Administration has signed a OneGov agreement with Tenable that offers steep discounts on some of the company's cloud security offerings. The agreement is the 17th OneGov pact GSA has signed with software manufacturers to bring volume discount pricing to all government buyers. In the Tenable agreement, the company is offering agencies a 65% discount off its list price for its FedRAMP-authorized Tenable Cloud Security Enterprise.

The OneGov agreement with SAP gives federal agencies access to new tools as they accelerate technology modernization, transition away from legacy systems, and unlock significant taxpayer savings.

The deals were part of GSA's OneGov strategy, in which the government streamlines the acquisition of services by operating as one entity; that way individual federal agencies don't have to negotiate their own separate deals.

Not to be outdone by the makers of ChatGPT and Claude, who each agreed to sell their services to the government for $1 per agency, Google has agreed to even deeper discount terms, pitching its various government-capable AI products for just $0.47 per agency, valid through 2026. The half-a-buck Google AI deal is part of the General Services Administration's OneGov purchasing strategy that seeks to streamline the purchasing of products for federal agencies.
