AI Governance & Human-in-the-Loop Oversight Framework

The contract seeks the design and implementation of an AI governance framework focused on ensuring transparency, auditability, and consistent human review of AI-generated compliance recommendations. This initiative is intended to establish clear protocols for how artificial intelligence systems contribute to regulatory and compliance decision-making, requiring robust mechanisms for traceability, accountability, and intervention by human oversight at critical junctures. The framework must support verifiable audit trails, standardized evaluation criteria for AI outputs, and defined roles for human reviewers to validate, override, or refine recommendations before deployment. This is a subcontract under the Department of the Treasury’s Tax Exempt Government Entities division, with performance expected to occur in Lanham. The solicitation was posted on June 30, 2026, and responses are due by July 7, 2026, at 4:00 PM. It falls under NAICS code 541690, which covers other scientific and technical consulting services, indicating a need for specialized expertise in AI ethics, governance, and regulatory compliance systems. The project requires a solution that is not only technically sound but also aligned with federal standards for accountability in automated systems, particularly in high-stakes compliance environments.
