Google is making a play for government customers, touting its “cost-saving offer” in the wake of the Trump administration’s efforts to scale back federal spending.

Google Workspace is the company’s collection of office suite tools, including Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Meet, and more. The company is working to position Workspace as a viable option for federal agencies coping with unfamiliar budget restrictions.

In a blog post, Google points out that Workspace is already FedRAMP High authorized, making it a natural option for federal employees.

Starting today, we are offering Google Workspace at a significant discount for U.S. federal government agencies. Workspace is a FedRAMP High authorized communication and collaboration platform that includes familiar apps, such as Gmail, Drive, Docs, Meet and more. Workspace comes with the best of Google AI, including Gemini and NotebookLM, at no additional cost, and is infused with efficient, time-saving features, such as real-time collaboration. Hundreds of thousands of personnel across the Department of Energy, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and others have access to Workspace to enhance their productivity and collaboration. Now, with Gemini being the first AI assistant to receive FedRAMP High Authorization, Workspace is also paving the way for federal agencies to leverage state-of-the-art AI capabilities in a compliant manner.

The company is offering Workspace at a massive discount.

Consistent with the U.S. General Services Administration’s strategy of treating the government as a single buyer, we have launched a temporary discount of 71% off the current Multiple Award Schedule (MAS IT) pricing for a bundled offering of Google Workspace Enterprise Plus and Assured Controls Plus, ensuring federal agencies of all sizes can access volume-based pricing. This pricing is effective until September 30, 2025.

Google emphasizes the security Workspace provides, including protection against time-consuming annoyances and spam.

Workspace has a unique approach to ensuring that cost and productivity are addressed with security top of mind. First, it delivers a secure, reliable, and compliant cloud infrastructure for all customers, ensuring that government agencies receive the same benefits, capacity, and features at the same pace as commercial customers. Second, Workspace can nullify classes of attack vectors since it doesn’t require client desktop apps or on-premises software. And third, Workspace is built-in with AI defenses that leverage threat signals from billions of endpoints and Google’s vast threat intelligence. The result? Workspace blocks more than 99.9% of spam, phishing attempts, and malware, and comes with a 99.9% uptime SLA.

Workspace is already one of the most popular options for office software. In addition to being feature-rich, its cloud-based nature means there is no expensive purchase and setup costs associated with traditional on-premise software. The company’s steep discount for the federal government is sure to make it an even more appealing option.
