“By partnering directly with Broadcom, we’re expanding access to commercial-grade AI and cybersecurity capabilities — while reducing cost and complexity for agencies,” Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum said in a statement.

The General Services Administration has struck an agreement with tech giant Broadcom to provide the federal government with discounted access to its software services, the agency announced on Wednesday. 

The deal is the latest pact made through GSA’s OneGov strategy, which is designed to provide agencies with major discounts on leading tech and software products by treating the government as one centralized buyer. More than a dozen leading tech firms — including Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks and SAP — have inked agreements with GSA since the agency launched the effort in April 2025.

“GSA is moving fast to deliver acquisition deals that save taxpayers money,” said GSA Administrator Ed Forst. “We’re happy to work with Broadcom to drive simpler, more effective buying across the federal government.”

Earlier this month, GSA Chief AI Officer and Data Scientist Zach Whitman told Nextgov/FCW during GovCIO’s AI summit that OneGov offers agencies a new way to adopt artificial intelligence tools. 

GSA said the Broadcom deal will provide agencies with discounts of up to 64% for a host of AI-ready products, including VMware Tanzu Platform and VMware Tanzu Data Intelligence, as well as VMware Avi Load Balancer and the VMware vDefend. Federal entities will also be able to purchase the VMware Tanzu AI Starter Kit, which GSA said “combines core Tanzu tools with professional services to speed up AI prototyping and deployment.”

Through the agreement, agencies will be able to access the discounted services until May 2027.

“This agreement represents another major milestone under the OneGov initiative and advances President [Donald] Trump’s call to accelerate AI adoption across government,” Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum said in a statement. “By partnering directly with Broadcom, we’re expanding access to commercial-grade AI and cybersecurity capabilities — while reducing cost and complexity for agencies.”
