AI-Enhanced Tools to Enhance Procurement Process

The platform should also meet Department of Defense Impact Level 6 compliance, Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, or FedRAMP, moderate to high level authorization and other federal security requirements.
GA intends to enhance the procurement process to support the department’s domestic operations and 275 global diplomatic missions. It aims to develop AI-enhanced contract support tools that will streamline the acquisition lifecycle, including capabilities to conduct market research and independent government cost estimate analysis, as well as write documents such as requirements, federal notices, statement of work and statement of objectives.
Interested vendors have until May 21 to submit their responses.
