What is OneGov?
Our OneGov strategy is a comprehensive plan to transform how government buys almost everything. Instead of hundreds of separate agency contracts, we leverage the collective purchasing power of the entire federal government to secure unprecedented discounts while ensuring consistent security standards and simplified access.
OneGov supports a coordinated, government-wide shift toward smarter, more secure, and more efficient commodity buying:
- Massive cost savings: Secure discounts of 70-90% on software your agency already uses from vendors like Microsoft, Adobe, Google, and Salesforce
- Direct OEM relationships: We work directly with original equipment manufacturers, eliminating markup and ensuring clear accountability for support and performance
- Reduced administrative burden: Access pre-negotiated agreements through value added resellers on GSA’s Multiple Award Schedule instead of running separate procurements
- Consistent security standards: All agreements include standardized contract terms with consistent expectations around support, patching, and access controls
IT initiative
The first phase of OneGov is the IT Initiative. We’re focused on software and technology where we can quickly deliver the greatest savings direct from the source.
Previously, agencies negotiated separate contracts for the same software, often paying premium prices while duplicating effort. OneGov IT eliminates this waste by leveraging our collective $100+ billion in annual federal IT spending to negotiate as one buyer.
Starting with software allows GSA to model a new approach — one that prioritizes direct relationships with original equipment manufacturers with discounted pricing reflecting the size of the government enterprise, streamlining acquisition pathways, and setting common standards for licensing, security, and reporting.
Why OneGov matters
Today’s federal IT landscape is fragmented. Agencies often buy similar products through separate contracts, at different prices, and with inconsistent terms. This drives up costs, limits visibility, and increases risk—especially when it comes to cybersecurity and performance accountability.
Meanwhile, commercial IT has evolved rapidly. Cloud services, software subscriptions, and API-driven platforms dominate the marketplace, but legacy acquisition processes haven’t kept up. Our OneGov Strategy is designed to close that gap.
