- The GSA and AWS sign an agreement worth $ 1 billion in AWS credits
- Trump’s AI AI Plan is supported by public and private organizations
- The discounts continue to arrive as the White House centralizes the purchase
The United States government has signed an agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in exchange for $ 1 billion in cloud computer credits through its General Services Administration (GSA) as part of the continuous White House effort to rationalize and centralize federal acquisition (and significantly reduce costs).
The United States Government will have access to $ 1 billion in AWS credits until the end of 2028 to help support the adoption of the cloud, the modernization of IT and training in the central federal agencies.
Direct incentive credits are made up of different categories, including savings in Core Aws cloud services, the modernization of infrastructure, training and certification, and direct associations and contracts with AWS.

In its announcement, the GSA highlighted the collaboration between public and private sectors, with the shared objective of “improving[e] The leadership of the United States. “
“Through this new agreement with AWS, federal agencies will be able to improve the delivery of critical services, take advantage of the technologies of clouds and advanced, and drastically reduce costs,” explained the interim administrator of Gsa Michael Rigas.
In addition to supporting the AI AI Plan of the Trump Administration, the agreement is also reflected in the current trend within this space. Hyperscalers and lower level suppliers have been offering the United States government significant discounts to choose their software in the hope that they can gain important contracts and at the same time saving the White House billions of millions in cash.
“As federal agencies adopt advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and automatic learning, AWS is positioned not only to help them achieve immediate operational efficiencies, but also to build the foundations for a safer and innovative government of tomorrow,” added the AWS CEO Matt Garman.
The news occurs only two days after the GSA confirmed an association with Openai, which would make Chatgpt Enterprise available at a “deeply discounted rate” for all federal workers.
Other recent discounts offered to the White House include up to 70% discount on certain Docusign plans and adobe plans, and up to 75% discount on Oracle Cloud platforms.
