“Plans for OneGov are constantly evolving, and we’re working to accommodate broader industry interests,” said Kyra Stewart, acting director of GSA’s IT Vendor Management Office, at the Sept. 16 Federal Networks event. (ibid)
Launched in April, OneGov modernizes federal IT acquisitions with standardized terms and pricing, helping agencies access the right technology while saving taxpayer dollars. Since its debut, GSA has struck deals with Oracle, Elastic, Google, Adobe, Salesforce, DocuSign, OpenAI, Box, Anthropic, and Microsoft. (ibid)
To protect agencies from sudden cost hikes when discounts end, GSA is negotiating longer-term agreements and revisiting terms before contracts expire. Stewart wants agencies to avoid vendor lock-in and manage costs effectively. (ibid)
Lawrence Hale, acting assistant commissioner at GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service, added that OneGov provides agencies with dedicated staff to find the best deals and solutions to meet their missions. (ibid)
GSA emphasized that OneGov will remain voluntary, giving agencies flexibility to choose outside providers. (ibid)
