GCP – Google Public Sector awarded $200 million contract to accelerate AI and cloud capabilities across Department of Defense’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO)

At Google Public Sector, we’re committed to advancing the deployment of innovative technology across the defense ecosystem. Today, we’re announcing that Google Public Sector has been awarded a $200 million-ceiling contract to support the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO). This builds on Google Public Sector’s long-standing collaboration with the Pentagon to advance national security.

The DoD may deploy Google’s frontier AI innovations and secure, extensive cloud infrastructure, empowering the agency with capabilities like Cloud Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), Agentspace, and access to Google’s entire Contiguous United States (CONUS) infrastructure for AI—a unique offering among DoD Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). These advanced AI solutions will enable the DoD to effectively address defense challenges and scale the adoption of agentic AI across enterprise systems to drive innovation and efficiency with agile, proven technology.

This milestone demonstrates a strengthened partnership between Google Public Sector and DoD CDAO to accelerate the federal adoption of cutting-edge data, analytics, and AI. It is also a testament to our dedication to providing secure, scalable, and responsible AI solutions that meet the stringent demands of the national defense ecosystem. This collaboration will enable the DoD to drive continued innovation and impactful outcomes.

This contract builds on Google Public Sector’s proven track record of success in partnering with customers across the federal ecosystem like the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to power mission-critical operations. Additionally, Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) & GDC air-gapped appliance recently achieved DoD Impact Level 6 (IL6) authorization, in addition to Google’s previous Top Secret authorization for GDC, providing DoD customers with secure, compliant, and cutting-edge air-gapped cloud environments for their most sensitive classified data and applications.
