Key points
- Claude for Government is generally available to federal and state agencies in a FedRAMP High‑authorized environment
- Claude Code CLI and Claude for Microsoft 365 are rolling out in early access with the same admin controls
- Agencies pay only for usage in fixed increments with a hard not‑to‑exceed cap, no seat fees
The platform lets agency staff work directly with files on their desktops, using plugins and projects for tasks such as memo creation, RFP reviews, and casework. Administrators can set configuration defaults, allocate prepaid usage, enforce spend caps, and monitor activity through audit logs and burndown alerts. Agencies can connect their own identity providers for single sign‑on and manage sub‑agency permissions via SCIM group mappings. No seat fees are charged; agencies pay for usage in fixed increments with a hard not‑to‑exceed cap.
Anthropic provides a FedRAMP Secure Configuration Guide through its trust center, and the desktop application can be deployed via standard agency MDM platforms. New agencies can request access at claude.com/solutions/government, while early‑access participants for Claude Code CLI or Claude for Microsoft 365 should contact the public‑sector team.
