Broadcom secured yet another lucrative win for VMware this week after it signed a deal for U.S. federal agencies' access to its suite of software solutions.

The OneGov agreement, which provides government-wide procurement for federal agencies buying IT solutions, covers discounts of up to 64% on access to VMware platforms, including Tanzu, Avi Load Balancer, and vDefend (inclusive of Distributed Firewall and Advanced Threat Prevention).

Federal agencies would also have the option to purchase a VMware Tanzu AI Starter Kit, which combines core Tanzu tools with professional services to speed up AI prototyping and deployment.

“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 explained.

OneGov agreements were introduced as part of the Trump administration's efforts to slash what it considers excessive and unnecessary federal spending. The General Services Administration (GSA), which is responsible for federal procurement, introduced the concept in the wake of President Trump’s Executive Orders on "Eliminating Waste and Saving Taxpayer Dollars," arguing that agencies “often buy similar products through separate contracts, at different prices, and with inconsistent terms.”

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

Broadcom joins the likes of Adobe, Google, and Salesforce in securing OneGov agreements.

This latest deal, which runs until May 2027, comes amid a period of uncertainty for long-time VMware subscribers following Broadcom’s takeover and the subsequent introduction of its new subscription service.

But amid the tumult for some long-time customers, Broadcom has turned its acquisition into company success, signing up more than 90% of VMware’s 10,000 largest customers to its Cloud Foundation (VCF) platform. Add to that VMware having helped push Broadcom’s full-year revenues for 2025 up 24% year-over-year.

“Broadcom’s deep engagement and strategic partnership with the GSA on this offer significantly advances the core objectives of the OneGov Strategy,” Broadcom CEO Hock Tan said of the latest government contract. “This initiative reinforces our commitment to optimizing value and enhancing overall effectiveness for federal agencies.”
