Bought as its own contract, not as a feature of a Claude plan: "Claude for Government is sold as prepaid usage in fixed increments, with no per-seat fee and a hard not-to-exceed cap. There is no seat minimum." and "You can purchase either directly through Anthropic or through Carahsoft." The page's plan table marks Claude Enterprise as not including FedRAMP High. The second route, "Through Carahsoft, Claude is available on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and cooperative contracts such as NASPO ValuePoint and OMNIA Partners", is a reseller route beside the direct one the page names first.
