In case you didn't know: the GSA has released a resource guide for the federal acquisition of Artificial Intelligence solutions and infrastructure. The Assistant Commissioner of the Office of Informtion Technology Category, Laura Stanton, stated: "Contracting officers will play a critical role by working closely with program and IT staff to find, source, acquire and make secure the right generative AI solutions for agencies’ needs". If you're a tech firm who provides AI services and solutions, you should pay attention to this! It's always wise to know what sort of standards and practices the government will put in place for these new technologies and what CDOs and CAIOs like Ramona Carey, Matthew Graviss, Kirsten Dalboe, Michelle Zebrowski, Eric Hysen, Bill Streilein, Brian Erickson, PE, Chandra Donelson and Brian Peretti might be looking for.

How to find out your federal contracting competitor’s pricing (in 5 steps)… Step 1: Search company name on GSA elibrary https://lnkd.in/eEZzPJSt Step 2: Scroll & Select the company’s MAS contract Step 3: Click “GSA advantage” icon in the View Catalog column Step 4: Here you should be on GSA Advantage and looking at the competitor’s page, click “View contractor information“ Step 5: Click “View Contractor Catalog” to see their pricing catalog. Select command+F on your keyboard and search for the role you are looking to price for (eg. Junior systems engineer, senior data analyst) Boom...there you have it, 5 steps to find competitor pricing for services contracts. Note: it is good practice to discount the price in the catalog by 3%-5% as most contractors will offer a price to the government slightly lower than the one listed. If you’ve also done this before, I’m curious to know how much you typically discount a company’s labor rates by. Let me know in the comments. #governmentcontracting #pricing #competitoranalysis

Riffing this evening, but I have started drafting a dedicated data complement to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJCSI) 5120.02F (Joint Doctrine System), that specifically addresses and integrates the DoD Chief Data and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) guidelines into the following Section 153, Title 10 US Code functions: (2)Strategic and contingency planning.—In matters relating to strategic and contingency planning—(A)developing strategic frameworks and preparing strategic plans, as required, to guide the use and employment of military force and related activities across all geographic regions and military functions and domains, and to sustain military efforts over different durations of time, as necessary; (E)preparing joint logistic and mobility plans to support national defense strategies and recommending the assignment of responsibilities to the armed forces in accordance with such plans. (4)Comprehensive joint readiness.—In matters relating to comprehensive joint readiness—(E)establishing and maintaining, after consultation with the commanders of the unified and specified combatant commands, a uniform system of evaluating the preparedness of each such command, and groups of commands collectively, to carry out missions assigned to the command or commands. (5)Joint capability development.—In matters relating to joint capability development—(A)identifying new joint military capabilities based on advances in technology and concepts of operation needed to maintain the technological and operational superiority of the armed forces, and recommending investments and experiments in such capabilities to the Secretary; (6)Joint force development activities.—In matters relating to joint force development activities—(B)formulating policies and technical standards, and executing actions, for the joint training of the armed forces; (F)advising the Secretary on the development of joint command, control, communications, and cybercapability, including integration and interoperability of such capability, through requirements, integrated architectures, data standards, and assessments. Probably already being done, but thought it would be a good exercise and resource once finished for the community that works in the DoD data space. Stay safe on the 4th. #datascience #technology

RGi President Brian Loggins spoke with the WashingtonExec. this week about how we provide an #ImmediateImpact for our government clients, and stand out among other GovCons. “What makes us different is the quality of our work, the quality of our people. I know a lot of companies can say that, but the difference with us is we’re very deliberate and focused on hiring the best, most innovative-type people, and then only going after the really innovative, complex kinds of work."
