GSA is preparing an AI-specific acquisition reform rule

▤ Summary

The General Services Administration is preparing a draft rule that would change how federal agencies buy AI and software. The rule will favor firm fixed-price contracting and remove barriers that slow commercial item procurement. It should make GSA a more predictable partner for AI developers, resellers, and other tech vendors. The agency is also reviewing which contracts can move away from cost-reimbursement models and may change the structure of its OneGov software purchasing program. These changes are part of a wider federal effort to streamline procurement and attract more companies to the government market.
