Time: 12:00 – 12:45 pm ET
This webinar delivers actionable insights into how government agencies and their industry partners can leverage AI technologies to significantly reduce PALT while enhancing procurement quality and regulatory compliance. Drawing on recent successful implementations across civilian and defense agencies, we examine how AI-powered solutions are addressing longstanding procurement bottlenecks—from requirements definition and market research to solicitation development and proposal evaluation.
Attendees will discover:
- How machine learning algorithms can accelerate acquisition planning by rapidly analyzing historical procurement data to identify patterns, predict potential delays, and recommend mitigation strategies
- Practical applications of natural language processing to streamline solicitation development, reduce RFP ambiguities, and ensure FAR/DFARS compliance
- Risk mitigation strategies for responsible AI adoption within the constraints of federal procurement regulations
- Implementation roadmaps that align with federal AI initiatives and security requirements
This session is designed for contracting officers, program managers, procurement policy specialists, and industry partners seeking to understand how emerging technologies can create more efficient acquisition processes while maintaining the integrity of federal procurement principles.
Join us to explore a practical, compliance-focused approach to AI adoption that addresses both the technical and cultural aspects of modernizing federal procurement operations.
