Artificial intelligence and cloud-based data products through Snowflake will now be available to all federal agencies, the General Services Administration announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

The GSA has struck a OneGov deal with the cloud-based data warehousing and analytics company in order to \u201cempower federal workers to break down data silos, enhance mission effectiveness, and accelerate their IT modernization initiatives,\u201d it said in a press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cFederal agencies are seeking efficiency in cost, enterprise scaled performance, intuitive design driven tools for the workforce and simplicity in contracting \u2014 we are the only multi-cloud data platform that can meet this charge on day one,\u201d Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Snowflake, the nearly $58 billion<\/a> company, gained high-security certification for government use through the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program in AWS GovCloud<\/a> in 2023 and for Microsoft Azure Government last June<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just over a year old, OneGov<\/a> is a government contracting framework allowing for cross-agency use of commercial products at a discounted price. For Snowflake users across the federal government, this means 20% off compute services, which could go up to 50% as usage increases, as well as nearly a 27% discount on storage, the release said.<\/p>\n

GSA Administrator Edward Forst said the administration has already seen \u201cpromising early projects\u201d from agencies using OneGov and its AI tools. Other AI tools from OpenAI, Anthropic<\/a> and Perplexity<\/a> are already available to agencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith stronger cross-agency data capabilities, we can accelerate AI tools tailored to each agency\u2019s mission,\u201d Forst said in the release.<\/p>\n

Overall, OneGov has saved the government $1.1 billion in its first year, another press release<\/a> from last month said. GSA said it is currently extending agreements, expanding access to services, and laying the groundwork for more scalable AI infrastructure across agencies.<\/p>\n

The Snowflake agreement<\/a> will be available until Sept. 30, 2027.<\/p>\n
