Today Perplexity announces a historic partnership with the United States government to make its enterprise AI platform available to all federal agencies.
Sound like another corporate press release? Yes, but it has concrete implications: federal employees and service members can access Enterprise Pro for Government through the GSA contract (MAS IT), at little or no cost for up to 18 months, with committed long-term pricing to ensure continuity.
What Perplexity announced
Perplexity becomes the first major AI company with a direct, government-wide contract. The idea is to deliver an enterprise-ready edition that institutions can use out of the box, supporting day-to-day tasks and decisions that affect national security.
The offering includes access to a set of leading models—like Perplexity Sonar, GPT, Claude, and Gemini—and a configurable information ecosystem that ties Perplexity’s internet-scale knowledge index to each agency’s internal systems.
