AI Governance & Generative AI Compliance

This contract requires strict adherence to Executive Order 13960 and the VA Trustworthy AI Framework, mandating that all AI and large language model components used in performance meet established standards for transparency, accountability, and ethical use. Contractors must implement governance controls to ensure AI systems are developed, deployed, and operated in alignment with federal guidelines, with a focus on mitigating bias, ensuring data integrity, and maintaining human oversight. All AI-related activities must be thoroughly documented and reported to demonstrate compliance, including detailed records of system design, testing, validation, and ongoing monitoring. The subcontract is categorized under NAICS code 541618 and is administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs through the Technology Acquisition Center NJ. Interested parties must submit responses by August 12, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. While no set-aside type is specified, full compliance with VA’s AI governance framework is non-negotiable, and failure to meet documentation or reporting obligations may result in contract termination or penalties. Performance may occur at any location, but all deliverables must align with federal AI policy standards regardless of geographic execution.
