AI Power User Advanced Models and Features Pilot Service

The Department of Health and Human Services is seeking a vendor to provide an artificial intelligence power user advanced models and features pilot service. The agency needs to establish operational baselines for emerging and frontier artificial intelligence capabilities to accurately forecast enterprise demand, define enterprise operating models, establish governance requirements, determine enterprise scalability, and develop future pricing structures. To solve these challenges, the agency requires a sustainable operational model that maintains or exceeds commercial parity at enterprise scale by continually integrating frontier innovation, advanced models, agentic features, coding capabilities, and other newly released commercial capabilities. The scope of work requires the selected vendor to document which capabilities are native, ready, API interoperable, preview-only, or requiring customization before enterprise use. The agency also requires a customization matrix detailing the level of customization, ownership, dependencies, expected effort bands, schedule implications, and requirements prior to enterprise scaling. Additionally, the vendor must provide a release-alignment and rapid-implementation roadmap to make newly released models and features available to government users with minimal lag relative to commercial releases. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based solely in the United States. The agency requires all performance of the work to be conducted offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget, and specific key dates are not provided in the sourcing details.
