Will AI Cut the Average 18-Month Acquisition Timeline?
Federal News Network – Federal acquisition leaders and the commercial industry have been asking the same question: why does it take so long to buy what the government already knows it needs? And for years, the answer has been this: The architecture of procurement and a pre-defined calendar that bleeds 18 months before a contract could be close to hitting the street. That timeline is a strategic vulnerability. The architecture of acquisition work has not fundamentally changed since the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) was compiled in 1984. That is the gap we have to close. AI is now positioned as the answer.
