27 AUGUST 2025 CALL FOR SOLUTIONS
The Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Digital Capabilities Contracting Center of Excellence (DC3oE), on behalf of the Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA), Headquarters Army Materiel Command (HQ AMC), and Headquarters Army Contracting Command (HQ ACC), is seeking innovative solutions to modernize and streamline the Army’s contracting process through automation and Artificial Intelligence.
Currently, the Army's contracting process is largely manual, requiring significant administrative effort for document drafting and multi-level approvals. High-value contracts routinely exceed one year in award time due to the complexity and extensive review processes. This initiative aims to enhance speed, accuracy, and compliance by leveraging AI to optimize procurement and reduce human error.
The Call for Solutions document (.pdf), outlining the full problem statement and objectives, can be found in the Attachments section of this posting.
The deadline to submit questions for Phase I is September 5, 2025 at 4:00PM EDT.

Please review the AOS posting and associated attachments, in addition to the attachment to this call, for further information on how the AOS is structured.
