Description
AI GeneratedThe buyer seeks a vendor to develop a comprehensive, actionable artificial intelligence (AI) use and governance policy service for a one-year contract period. The required scope spans three phases: conducting a discovery, inventory, and benchmarking audit with stakeholder engagement; developing a governance and risk framework with risk tiering and human-in-the-loop safeguards; and establishing data privacy, security, public records compliance, and vendor risk protocols. The final policy must establish clear governance, operational risk tiers, and employee standards for forms of AI including predictive, physical, agentic, diagnostic, and Operational AI. Eligibility requires the vendor to perform work onshore within the USA, and the buyer specifies offsite performance. Vendors can submit responses digitally via email or online, and the buyer requests proposals for the budget. Key dates require vendors to submit all questions no later than September 28, 2026. The buyer evaluates proposals without stating specific evaluation criteria in the text.
