Over the past year, federal agencies gained broad access to enterprise AI through the OneGov initiative, at prices unlike any normal software deal. The current OneGov portal lists OpenAI ChatGPT Enterprise at $1 per agency, Anthropic Claude at $1 per seat, and Google Gemini for Government at $0.47 per agency. Those introductory offers begin expiring on September 30, 2026, the final day of fiscal year (FY) 26, which places renewal squarely in the FY27 planning cycle.
With promotional pricing expected to change, agencies must soon decide which platforms to renew, resize, replace, or retire. Making that call requires clear cost and usage evidence. Agencies can prepare by building a clear baseline of what each platform costs, how widely it is used, and what operational value it returns.
To assist with this effort, Datadog Cloud Cost Management (CCM) brings supported AI spend and cloud costs into a shared FinOps workflow. Teams can use that baseline to understand current consumption, assign ownership, detect unexpected changes, and model future spending.
In this post, we’ll show how agencies can:
