OneGov IT
Government acting as one buyer to secure massive savings on software and technology. Save 70-90% on tools your agency already uses.
What is OneGov?
GSA's 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.
Why OneGov IT?
The IT Initiative is the first phase of OneGov. 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.
- 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

OneGov FAQ
Search common questions from government and industry.
Yes. Business cases consistently show that engaging directly with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) improves transparency and ensures fairer pricing across government. Today, different agencies often pay different rates for identical products, which undermines the federal government’s buying power. By negotiating directly with OEMs, GSA can establish consistent terms, reduce duplicative overhead, and make sure all agencies benefit equally from competitive pricing.
This does not mean resellers will disappear. VARs remain essential for integration, engineering support, logistics, and compliance functions. The OneGov approach is about clarifying contractual accountability at the OEM level while preserving the value-added services that small businesses provide. In practice, this gives agencies the best of both worlds: uniform, governmentwide pricing with continued access to the innovation and specialized expertise that resellers deliver.
Many of the early OneGov limited-time offers (LTOs) are being executed through resellers. This is an intentional transition period—one that allows GSA and industry partners to maintain continuity while agencies adapt to the new model. Over time, as new OEM-direct contracts are established, we’ll shift more LTOs and enterprise agreements to those direct relationships. This phased approach helps agencies, OEMs, and resellers adjust smoothly while preserving the stability of the federal IT marketplace.
How can industry align to help mitigate?
Yes. GSA recognizes that any shift in acquisition strategy brings both real and perceived risks. The most common concerns include reduced competition, disruption to small business participation, and the potential for slower adoption if agencies or industry partners are uncertain about the model. We are addressing these risks by ensuring OneGov is implemented in a phased and transparent way, with continued opportunities for dialogue and adjustment.
Industry can help mitigate risks by actively engaging with OEMs to clarify roles and expectations, maintaining investment in compliance and integration capabilities, and continuing to highlight areas where value-added services are critical. Small businesses, in particular, remain vital to the federal IT ecosystem — offering innovation, mission-focused support, and specialized expertise that OEMs alone cannot provide. By working collaboratively, GSA, OEMs, and resellers can reduce inefficiencies, strengthen supply chains, and deliver consistent, cost-effective solutions for all agencies.
Yes. Under FAR Part 51, an agency may issue a letter of authorization allowing its contractor to order from GSA sources, including OneGov agreements, when it supports the performance of a government contract.
The agency must determine that such use is in the government’s interest and issue a written authorization outlining the terms. Once approved, the contractor can place orders through the same OneGov vehicles and access the standardized pricing and terms negotiated by GSA. This flexibility helps agencies ensure consistent licensing and support, even when delivery is delegated to an external partner.
GSA continues to coordinate with other agencies that manage governmentwide contract programs, including NIH and NASA, to ensure alignment with OneGov’s goals of reducing duplication and improving value. Each of these vehicles — Polaris, CIO-SP4, and SEWP VI — has its own governance and acquisition strategy, so the OneGov Team cannot speak to their future direction.
What we can say is that OneGov is focused on creating consistent, governmentwide terms with OEMs that can be leveraged across multiple acquisition channels. Our intent is not to displace or diminish other vehicles, but to ensure that wherever agencies buy, they are able to access fair, consistent pricing and terms that reflect the government’s full buying power.
GSA brings decades of experience in category management, governmentwide acquisition, and commercial pricing analysis. OneGov pricing is informed by spend analysis, market research, historical pricing data, and direct engagement with agencies and industry.
The goal is not to assign arbitrary values, but to ensure pricing reflects real market conditions, commercial practices, and the government’s collective buying power. This approach improves consistency, reduces risk, and supports better acquisition decisions across agencies.
Yes. Agencies must follow the ordering procedures outlined in FAR 8.4. The current OneGov agreements are not exempt from these requirements.
This means that while OneGov provides pre-negotiated pricing and standardized terms with OEMs, agencies must still follow their normal ordering procedures—including obtaining quotes, documenting fair opportunity, and complying with any agency-specific thresholds or approval policies.
OneGov simplifies pricing and improves transparency but does not remove the need to compete or document orders as required by the FAR.
No. OneGov is focused on standardizing pricing and terms for widely used, commercial IT—not restricting agency choice or competition. Agencies retain the ability to choose which products best meet their needs, and OneGov agreements are established through competitive, FAR-based processes.
By clarifying roles and holding OEMs accountable for pricing and performance, OneGov actually lowers barriers to entry for partners and integrators, including small businesses. Competition continues at multiple levels: among OEMs, among implementation partners, and at the order level where agencies tailor solutions.
OEM participation in OneGov is not limited to those that currently hold a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract. For OEMs without a direct MAS presence, GSA provides clear onramps through authorized contract holders and new streamlined acquisition channels. The objective is to ensure that agencies have access to the best possible pricing and terms from the full range of qualified OEMs, regardless of their prior contracting posture.
We encourage OEMs and their partners to review the Industry Participation resources on the OneGov website. This page outlines how companies can engage, stay informed about upcoming opportunities, and understand the benefits of participating in the OneGov framework. By aligning with governmentwide terms, OEMs can expand their reach, reduce duplicative contracting efforts, and better serve federal missions — while resellers continue to play a vital role in delivery and support.
OneGov is designed to reconcile commercial practices with federal acquisition requirements in a way that preserves value for agencies and industry. Where Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses differ from standard commercial terms, GSA is working with the FAR Council and other stakeholders to identify flexibilities, model deviations, and standard templates that reduce friction while maintaining compliance.
The goal is not to impose unnecessary government-unique terms, but to establish a consistent baseline that agencies can rely on and industry can reasonably comply with. In many cases, this means adopting commercial T&Cs wherever possible and limiting government-unique requirements to those that are truly essential. This approach helps agencies benefit from faster access to technology and reduces the compliance burden on industry, particularly small businesses that may not have the resources to navigate complex, inconsistent requirements.
Small business participation remains a central priority under OneGov. OEMs serving as primes will be required to demonstrate meaningful subcontracting and partnering opportunities with small businesses, consistent with federal small business goals. This includes traditional subcontracting plans, but also broader engagement such as teaming arrangements, integration services, and mission support provided by small firms.
GSA is committed to ensuring that small businesses remain part of the federal IT supply chain. VARs and other small partners bring innovation, agility, and specialized expertise that OEMs alone cannot provide. By making OEMs accountable for fair, consistent pricing while requiring them to partner with small businesses, OneGov strengthens both taxpayer value and the health of the small business ecosystem.
In the context of OneGov, “common” goods and services are those widely purchased across multiple agencies, often under separate contracts with duplicative terms and pricing. These include commercial IT products and services where requirements are largely consistent regardless of agency mission — such as enterprise software, cloud services, endpoint devices, and related support.
By consolidating demand for these common categories, GSA can negotiate uniform terms directly with OEMs, eliminate pricing disparities between agencies, and simplify acquisition. This allows agencies to focus their contracting resources on mission-unique needs, while relying on GSA to secure enterprise-level pricing and terms for widely used IT solutions.
OneGov does not eliminate the roles of non-mission agencies — it repositions them to focus on higher-value functions. Rather than spending time duplicating pricing negotiations or running separate competitions for common IT needs, support offices can now rely on GSA’s governmentwide terms as a baseline. This reduces administrative burden, ensures compliance, and frees up internal resources to focus on mission-specific procurement, governance, and IT modernization.
Procurement and IT support teams remain essential to translating agency needs into requirements, managing integrations, and ensuring systems align with security and operational standards. OneGov gives these offices better tools — including pre-negotiated pricing, standard templates, and centralized acquisition assistance — so they can spend less time chasing procurement parity and more time delivering results.
OneGov is designed to support—not conflict with—ongoing procurement reform and FAR modernization. The strategy relies on existing FAR authorities for commercial item acquisition, Multiple Award Schedule contracting, and governmentwide solutions. Rather than introducing new regulatory requirements, OneGov focuses on how the government applies those tools at scale.
By consolidating demand for common IT and negotiating consistent terms up front, OneGov reduces duplicative negotiations, supports commercial pricing practices, and gives agencies more flexibility at the order level. This approach aligns with broader reform goals to simplify acquisition, increase use of commercial solutions, and improve outcomes for agencies and taxpayers.
Under OneGov, pricing is standardized at the OEM level, not on a per-order basis. This means agencies will have access to the same baseline governmentwide pricing and terms, regardless of who issues the order or which channel is used. By establishing this consistency up front, GSA eliminates the disparities where one agency might pay significantly more than another for the same product.
Agencies still retain the flexibility to compete or negotiate at the order level where mission requirements demand it, but the starting point will be a transparent, pre-negotiated price that reflects the government’s full buying power. This model ensures fairness, reduces administrative burden, and improves taxpayer value, while still giving agencies the ability to tailor solutions to their specific needs.
Existing contracts, including multi-year vehicles such as SEWP, will continue under their awarded terms until completion. OneGov is not designed to retroactively alter contractual commitments. As those contracts reach natural expiration or option periods, GSA will work with agencies and industry to transition common requirements into the OneGov framework.
This ensures stability for ongoing programs while providing a clear glide path toward standardized, governmentwide pricing and terms. Agencies can continue to meet mission needs without disruption, and industry partners will have advance visibility into when and how opportunities shift under OneGov. The approach balances continuity with reform, honoring current obligations while steadily moving the federal market toward greater efficiency and consistency
GSA is closely monitoring changes to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), SBA oversight, and small business set-aside rules. These broader shifts — including judicial challenges to race- and gender-based programs, reductions in OSDBU mandates, and the streamlining of small business preferences — do not change GSA’s commitment to supporting a robust small business industrial base.
Under OneGov, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are held accountable for partnering with small businesses as part of their delivery model. That includes integration services, logistics, cybersecurity, and mission support. While some traditional set-aside structures are evolving, GSA continues to promote diverse supplier participation through subcontracting, teaming, and collaborative delivery models.
GSA remains committed to transparency, accountability, and small business access — even as the regulatory environment shifts.
Integration of solutions under OneGov will continue to be led by industry. OEMs will serve as the prime contractors responsible for delivering standardized pricing and terms, but they will rely on resellers, integrators, and small businesses to provide the engineering, logistics, compliance, and mission support that agencies need.
On the government side, agencies remain responsible for defining their mission requirements. Where those requirements involve common IT needs, GSA — through the Office of Centralized Acquisition Services (OCAS) — will increasingly assist with procurement execution. This approach keeps industry in the lead for delivering solutions, while reducing duplicative contracting, strengthening consistency, and allowing agency contracting shops to focus more of their resources on mission-unique acquisitions.
Small businesses will continue to play a critical role under OneGov. While OEMs will hold primary responsibility for governmentwide pricing and terms, they will remain dependent on small business partners for integration, engineering, logistics, cybersecurity, and mission support. GSA will hold OEMs accountable for demonstrating meaningful subcontracting and partnering arrangements, consistent with federal small business goals.
Far from excluding small businesses, OneGov creates opportunities for them to focus on higher-value activities. By eliminating duplicative contracting and leveling pricing across agencies, small firms can spend less time navigating inconsistent terms and more time delivering innovation and specialized expertise. In this way, OneGov ensures small businesses remain embedded in the federal IT ecosystem, while strengthening the government’s ability to buy smarter and at scale.
Government purchase cards will continue to be an important tool for micro-purchases and low-dollar transactions. The OneGov strategy is focused on consolidating common, enterprise-level requirements where purchase cards are not typically the primary vehicle. By standardizing pricing and terms at the OEM level, agencies can have greater confidence that even card-based purchases align with governmentwide rates and conditions.
In practice, this means agencies may still use purchase cards for day-to-day needs, but those transactions will benefit from the same consistency in pricing and compliance that applies to larger orders. OneGov does not replace the purchase card program — it complements it by ensuring fairness and transparency across all acquisition methods.
OneGov applies to both products and services. The initial focus has been on commercial IT products where pricing and terms can be standardized across agencies. Over time, the strategy will extend to common IT services as well — areas such as cloud hosting, managed services, and enterprise support that are broadly purchased governmentwide.
The structure will remain consistent: GSA will negotiate baseline terms directly with OEMs and service providers, ensuring agencies have access to fair, consistent pricing and reducing the need for duplicative negotiations. Agencies will retain the ability to compete and tailor service requirements to meet mission-specific needs, but they will be doing so against a common governmentwide baseline. This ensures agencies get both the benefit of scale and the flexibility to shape solutions for their unique environments.
No. OneGov does not set price controls on services or assume that services become less expensive by changing who holds the contract. Services such as integration, engineering, logistics, cybersecurity, and mission support still carry costs and are often delivered by the same resellers and small businesses agencies rely on today.
What changes is transparency and accountability. By standardizing baseline pricing for products and licenses, OneGov makes it easier for agencies to clearly see, evaluate, and compete service offerings based on value—rather than navigating inconsistent and opaque pricing structures.
Will agencies have the ability to pursue specific IDIQs/agency-specific contract vehicles?
OneGov is focused on consolidating common IT needs, not on replacing the full range of professional services contracts agencies rely on. Agencies will continue to use existing IDIQs and agency-specific vehicles where requirements are unique to their mission.
For professional services that are broadly purchased across government — such as implementation support, cybersecurity assessments, or cloud migration assistance — OneGov provides a framework for standardizing baseline terms and pricing. This helps agencies buy faster and with greater confidence that they are getting the best value, while still preserving the flexibility to tailor task orders or use other vehicles as appropriate. The intent is to complement, not displace, existing professional services acquisition strategies.
No. The OneGov strategy changes the contractual relationship but not the operational reality that agencies depend on resellers. OEMs will remain the prime contractors responsible for offering transparent, governmentwide pricing, but they continue to rely on value-added resellers (VARs) for many critical functions. These include integration and engineering support, logistics, compliance expertise, and the ability to bring forward emerging technologies that OEMs alone may not be able to deliver at scale.
In practice, agencies will still work with many of the same partners they rely on today. The difference is that pricing and baseline terms are standardized at the OEM level, which strengthens accountability and eliminates inconsistencies across agencies. Resellers continue to play a vital role in delivering solutions, ensuring compliance, and supporting innovation — particularly small businesses that bring agility and mission-focused expertise.
Agencies will continue to be responsible for defining and managing their mission-specific requirements. OneGov does not replace the role of agency contracting offices. What changes is that for common IT needs, the baseline pricing and terms will be established centrally by GSA to ensure consistency and fairness across government.
Over time, the Office of Centralized Acquisition Services (OCAS) will provide additional support by assisting agencies with execution of procurements in designated categories. This means agencies can rely on GSA contracting personnel to handle portions of the acquisition process where centralization drives efficiency, while retaining the flexibility to manage mission-unique procurements themselves. The goal is to reduce duplication, strengthen compliance, and make better use of contracting resources across government — not to displace them.
Particularly to fill gaps left by the phase-out of acquisition services previously offered by other agencies?
GSA will continue to provide robust support to agencies as they navigate OneGov. Agencies remain responsible for defining their mission requirements, but GSA is expanding its role in helping them execute procurements for common IT needs. Through the Office of Centralized Acquisition Services (OCAS), contracting personnel will assist agencies with acquisition planning, solicitation development, and contract execution where centralization delivers efficiency and consistency.
This support is designed to reduce duplication and administrative burden while maintaining agency control over mission-specific decisions. Agencies will have access to standardized templates, market research, and pricing baselines negotiated by GSA, allowing them to move faster and with greater confidence in compliance and value. Over time, this shared services approach will strengthen the overall acquisition workforce and free up agency contracting shops to focus on unique, mission-critical procurements.
Or will GSA procure all the common spend products and services for Federal / military agencies?
Agencies will retain the authority to place orders off of GSA vehicles. OneGov is not designed to take procurement authority away from agencies, but to ensure that when they do buy common IT products and services, they are doing so against a consistent set of governmentwide terms.
For certain designated categories, GSA — through the Office of Centralized Acquisition Services (OCAS) — may take a more active role in procurement execution to reduce duplication and strengthen compliance. But agencies will still be able to issue task orders and purchase directly from GSA vehicles as they do today. The shift is about aligning the baseline pricing and terms, not removing agency authority.
OEMs will remain responsible for ensuring that all requirements associated with federal IT acquisitions are met under OneGov. In most cases, this will continue to involve working with resellers and small business partners who provide essential services such as logistics, cleared personnel, financing terms, and supply chain security. Those functions do not disappear under OneGov — they are carried out under the OEM’s prime contract responsibility.
This model brings greater accountability to the OEM for consistent pricing and compliance, while still leveraging the specialized expertise of resellers and integrators. Agencies will continue to benefit from the same capabilities they rely on today, but with the added assurance that baseline pricing and terms are standardized across government.
GSA’s analysis is based on governmentwide spend data, order-level pricing reviews, and comparisons across agencies purchasing the same commercial products. This data consistently shows wide pricing variation for identical software and services, often driven by fragmented buying and duplicative negotiations.
These inconsistencies weaken the government’s buying power and create inequities across agencies. OneGov addresses this by establishing a transparent, governmentwide pricing baseline at the OEM level, ensuring all agencies start from the same terms while retaining flexibility to meet mission-specific needs.
Supply chain risk management is a core part of the OneGov strategy. By negotiating directly with OEMs, GSA can apply consistent security, transparency, and compliance requirements across government, rather than relying on agency-by-agency enforcement. This includes alignment with federal standards for cybersecurity, data protection, and sourcing, as well as monitoring against known risks such as counterfeit products, unauthorized resellers, or prohibited sources.
OEMs will be held accountable for meeting these standards as a condition of participating in OneGov, and they will continue to rely on partners — including resellers and small businesses — to meet specific logistics, clearance, and mission support requirements. This approach reduces fragmentation, strengthens federal oversight, and ensures that supply chain integrity is built into every acquisition from the start.
Will it be similar to the Brooks ADPE Act processes that used to exist at GSA?
The governance structure for OneGov is built on a combination of policy, executive guidance, and agency collaboration. The President’s Executive Order on procurement consolidation provides the foundation by directing agencies to use centralized contracts for designated common IT needs. GSA, in coordination with OMB, will issue implementing guidance and establish model deviations to the FAR to ensure consistency.
Rather than replicating past approaches, OneGov emphasizes collaboration and transparency. Agencies are expected to comply with governmentwide baselines, while still retaining flexibility for mission-specific acquisitions. Compliance will be reinforced through reporting, category management metrics, and ongoing engagement with CIOs and procurement leadership. The intent is to build alignment around shared goals of efficiency, cost savings, and stronger supply chain management — not to impose rigid, top-down controls.
AI will support OneGov by improving the efficiency, accuracy, and transparency of federal acquisition. GSA is exploring the use of AI-enabled tools to analyze spend data, identify pricing disparities, and flag opportunities for consolidation. AI can also assist contracting personnel with market research, drafting solicitation language, and monitoring compliance with governmentwide terms.
Importantly, AI is not replacing human judgment or the role of the acquisition workforce. Decisions about requirements, vendor selection, and contract management will remain with contracting professionals. AI will serve as an enabler — helping agencies and GSA staff make better-informed decisions, move faster, and maintain consistency across thousands of transactions. This aligns with the broader federal focus on responsible AI adoption, ensuring technology is used to strengthen, not replace, acquisition oversight.
As part of OneGov, GSA is standardizing core acquisition templates to reduce duplication and improve consistency across agencies. These include solicitation and ordering templates, market research formats, and pricing documentation that reflect the governmentwide terms negotiated with OEMs.
The intent is not to limit flexibility but to provide a consistent baseline that agencies can adapt to their specific needs. Standardized templates help reduce administrative burden for both government and industry, speed up procurement timelines, and ensure compliance with federal requirements. Detailed guidance on specific templates will be shared with agencies and industry as they are finalized.
Information on the OneGov strategy, including updates for both agencies and industry, is regularly posted here at GSA’s ITVMO website. The site includes background on the strategy, current offerings, and opportunities for industry engagement.
For industry partners specifically, GSA maintains an Industry Participation page that outlines how companies can get involved, stay informed about upcoming opportunities, and provide feedback. Agencies and vendors are encouraged to use this resource as the central point of reference for OneGov information.
Companies have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to get onto them, and could further shut out the industrial base.
The goal of OneGov is to simplify access to common IT products and services, not to reduce competition or limit participation. Existing GWACs and Schedule vehicles remain important tools for agencies, and GSA recognizes the investments companies have made to qualify for them.
Where vehicle consolidation occurs, GSA will assess the industrial base to ensure agencies have adequate choice and competition. If needed, additional capacity may be added through on-ramps or new opportunities to bring in qualified vendors. OneGov is designed to make governmentwide pricing and terms more consistent while still supporting a diverse supplier base — including small businesses — that strengthens competition and innovation.
