The Department of Defense’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office has begun pursuing a digital platform to facilitate the management of contract files to enhance contract procedures and processes.
CDAO wants the electronic filing platform to help streamline the process of reviewing, storing, documenting and labeling contract files to facilitate access and plans to adopt commercial best practices to implement procurement actions to meet mission requirements, according to a notice published Friday on Tradewinds AI.
Some of the desired operational capabilities for the platform are maintaining records of contract-related documents and tracking changes made to contract files, tracking and reporting on contract workflow progress and ensuring the confidentiality and security of contract documents.
The call may result in pilot project awards that could be carried out through other transaction authority agreements for prototype projects.
The initiative has three rounds and the first focuses on the submission of a discovery paper. For the second round, selected offerors will pitch their proof of concept to a government panel. The pilot project awards will serve as the final round.
Responses to the open call to industry are due Jan. 15.
