Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, specifically W6QM MICC-FDO FT EUSTIS, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit industry participation in a Reverse Industry Day titled "Understanding Industry’s Use of AI in Approaching Government Solicitations." This event, scheduled for April 21, 2026, at Fort Eustis, VA, aims to enhance the Government's understanding of how industry utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the proposal generation process. Responses are due March 23, 2026.
Scope of Work
The RFI seeks up to three (3) contractors to present on individual panels regarding their experiences using AI in proposal generation. The Government is interested in diverse perspectives on current and planned approaches to incorporating AI tools and techniques throughout the entire proposal process. Key topics of interest include:
- How AI tools impact the evaluation of Government contract opportunities.
- Strategies to combat confirmation bias and ensure accuracy in AI-generated proposals.
- Recommendations for the Government to create solicitations that effectively integrate with industry's AI tools.
- Controls and methods used by industry to protect sensitive and proprietary data when employing AI tools. Presentations will be in-person, approximately 30-45 minutes, with 15-20 minutes for questions. The goal is to improve the Government’s understanding of AI tools and prompt creation in the solicitation process.
