    Brief

    This proof of concept opportunity seeks a solution to test and measure how artificial intelligence can effectively replace or augment the role of human evaluators in the procurement assessment phase. The objective is to determine whether AI can improve efficiency, consistency, and speed in evaluating procurement submissions while maintaining quality standards. Suppliers should propose AI tools or systems that can assess vendor proposals, technical submissions, or other procurement documents and demonstrate measurable improvements in evaluation time, accuracy, or cost reduction.
