DoD awarded up to $200 million each to Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and xAI, using a multi-vendor approach that lets agencies draw on different providers rather than committing to a single vendor.
Glass says it has processed over $15.2 million in government purchases since 2020 and reports 125+ public agency customers; its new upgrades add AI-powered search, analytics, and order tracking.
Government tech deal activity reached $2.8 billion in Q2 2026, up 45% from Q1 2026, with growth driven by smaller, faster-growing AI-focused vendors rather than larger private-equity-backed consolidations.
