Expanded Claude AI Access Now Available to All Three U.S. Government Branches
Starting August 12, 2025, Claude AI is now accessible across the entire U.S. government—covering the executive, legislative, and judiciary branches—for just $1. This initiative removes cost barriers, allowing federal workers to utilize advanced AI tools that have already demonstrated value in the private sector.
Government teams using Claude are seeing improvements in diverse areas—from accelerating scientific research to supporting national security operations. This expanded access ensures more agencies can integrate AI into their daily workflows to better serve the public.
How Agencies Can Access Claude for $1
The General Services Administration (GSA) has played a key role in making Claude easier to acquire. With Claude recently added to the GSA schedule, procurement processes are streamlined, allowing agencies to access both Claude for Government and Claude for Enterprise.
- Claude for Government supports FedRAMP High workloads, enabling use on sensitive but unclassified data.
- Claude for Enterprise offers access to frontier AI models with continuous updates as new features roll out.
Technical support is included to help agencies quickly implement Claude into their productivity and mission workflows. This offer is valid for one year.
Proven Results in Government Applications
Claude is already trusted for critical government tasks. The Department of Defense has an agreement capped at $200 million to use Claude in advancing national security. At Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, over 10,000 scientists rely on Claude daily to speed up research. The District of Columbia Department of Health uses Claude to assist residents in multiple languages, improving access to health services.
These deployments meet the government's highest security standards. Claude for Government is FedRAMP High certified, the strictest standard for handling sensitive government data. Plus, partnerships with AWS, Google Cloud, and Palantir mean agencies can integrate Claude within secure existing infrastructures while maintaining full data control.
Looking Ahead
This expanded offering demonstrates a commitment to accelerating AI adoption across federal agencies. Providing broad access combined with strong security ensures AI tools effectively support public sector missions—from research to constituent services.
The rollout is coordinated with GSA and government partners to ensure smooth implementation. Agencies interested in using Claude are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to improve efficiency and mission impact.
