Agreement details: low price, long-term, dedicated support According to the agreement, federal agencies can access the use of xAI's Grok 4 and Grok 4 Fast advanced reasoning models through GSA's OneGov program at an ultra-low price of only $0.42 per agency per year. This offer is valid for up to 18 months, the longest duration in the OneGov AI agreement, continuing until March 2027. At the same time, xAI also promised to deploy a dedicated engineering team to assist participating agencies in quickly and effectively integrating Grok AI tools into their workflows, providing comprehensive support from introductory training to long-term customized activation. Furthermore, the agreement also provides agencies with an upgrade path to a Grok enterprise subscription that complies with the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) and the Department of Defense Impact Level (IL). In response, Federal Procurement Service Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum commented, "The widespread application of advanced AI models is key to building an efficient and accountable government, and it is also an important step toward fulfilling President Trump’s commitment to winning the global AI race. We appreciate the collaboration between xAI and GSA, and with the support of dedicated engineers, we will accelerate the transformational application of Grok in government operations." At the same time, Elon Musk also commented, emphasizing, "xAI possesses the world's most powerful AI computing capabilities and the most advanced AI models. Thanks to the support of President Trump and his administration, xAI's cutting-edge AI is now available to all federal agencies, which will assist the U.S. government in achieving faster innovation and help it fulfill its mission more effectively. We look forward to working with the government to rapidly deploy AI for the benefit of the nation."

In August of this year, AI giant OpenAI also announced a partnership with GSA: OpenAI's flagship product ChatGPT Enterprise is expected to be available to all federal employees in 2026, with participating federal agencies only needing to pay a symbolic fee of $1 per agency to access OpenAI's leading AI models. This initiative is also conducted through the OneGov framework.
