GSA Implements New AI Clause for Federal Contracts
The General Services Administration (GSA) has implemented its new General Services Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) clause establishing requirements for large language model (LLM) artificial intelligence (AI) systems that process government data.
Effective October 19, the clause applies to new GSA solicitations and resulting contracts involving covered LLM products and services. The requirements address several areas, including government data security, subcontractor oversight, human oversight, and incident reporting.
Under the new clause, contractors must safeguard government data, restrict unauthorized access, and comply with applicable data storage and handling requirements. Contractors must also conduct due diligence on subcontractors involved in covered LLM systems and ensure applicable requirements are incorporated into subcontracts.
In addition, covered systems must provide commercially reasonable capabilities for human oversight, intervention, and traceability. Contractors are required to report certain security incidents and material violations within 72 hours and are prohibited from using government data to train or improve AI models unless expressly authorized under the contract. For Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts, GSA plans to implement the requirements through solicitation refreshes and mass modifications.
Army Extends MAPS Proposal Deadline and Updates Small Business Teaming Requirements
The U.S. Army has issued Amendment 0011 to its $50 billion Marketplace for the Acquisition of Professional Services (MAPS) solicitation, extending the proposal submission deadline to November 12, 2026. The Army has also introduced significant changes to MAPS’ small business teaming requirements.
The amendment establishes a new Small Business Teaming Arrangement (SBTA) framework which allows small business prime contractors to formally team with other small businesses. The changes include new definitions and requirements for SBTAs and first-tier subcontractors, as well as updates to proposal instructions, evaluation criteria, and compliance requirements.
In addition, the amendment outlines procedures for adding, removing, or substituting SBTA partners after contract award. Offerors that previously submitted proposals also have the opportunity to withdraw and resubmit their proposals under the updated framework.
Contractors can review Amendment 0011 and monitor additional solicitation updates on SAM.gov.
Rollout Plan for the DHS Acquisition Planning Forecast System
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has shared the following notice with the Coalition about its plans to update the Acquisition Planning Forecast System. DHS contractors are encouraged to review DHS’s notice and plan accordingly.
The DHS Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is preparing to roll out key updates to the Acquisition Planning Forecast System (APFS). We want to share what your member organization can expect over the coming weeks, clarify how forecast data will remain accessible during this cutover period.
System Cutover and Upcoming Entry Freeze
To prepare the system for modernization, DHS will pause data entry into the current legacy platform. Effective October 30, 2026, at 4:00 PM EDT, DHS procurement offices will no longer enter new procurement opportunities into the legacy APFS site while final data migration and transition activities are underway.
Data Access and the Interim “Self-Service” Window
We understand how vital forecast predictability is to industry planning, and we want to reassure your members that there will not be a month-long void in data visibility.
Beginning November 5, 2026, industry partners can access DHS forecast information directly through DHS’s updated web presence: Advance Acquisition Planning: Forecast of Contract Opportunities | Homeland Security
During the interim period between November 5 and December 2026, automated alert and subscription messaging services will temporarily be offline. However, industry partners will not be locked out of the data; forecasted opportunity listings will be available on DHS.gov for users to view and self-download directly. Full automated messaging and subscription notifications are scheduled to resume in December 2026. Until then, we ask our industry partners to be proactive and download the files directly from the site as needed.
DOW Issues Guidance for Procuring ‘Unbiased’ AI Systems
Federal News Network reports that the Department of War (DOW) has issued new guidance directing acquisition officials to ensure AI systems purchased by the Pentagon adhere to Trump administration requirements for “truth-seeking” and “ideological neutrality.” The directive, issued by John Tenaglia, Principal Director for Defense Pricing, Contracting and Acquisition Policy, provides standardized templates and contract language to help acquisition officials document, solicit, and enforce compliance with the department’s “unbiased AI” principles.
The guidance implements requirements from a 2025 executive order and subsequent Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance governing the procurement of large language models, while allowing DOW components to tailor requirements based on the complexity and risk of individual AI acquisitions.
GSA Expands OneGov Program with First Small Business Deal
MeriTalk reports that GSA has awarded its first direct OneGov agreement to an 8(a) small business, expanding agencies’ access to AI tools through a partnership with Maryland-based US AI. The agreement gives federal agencies access to US AI’s FedRAMP High-authorized Intelligent Computing Platform, with discounts of up to 30% on eligible software licenses and two-week proof-of-value pilots for $1 through Sept. 30, 2028.
According to GSA, the platform supports the development, deployment, and governance of AI-enabled applications, autonomous agents, and workflows, with capabilities including software development, fraud detection, cybersecurity, data orchestration, infrastructure management, and compliance.
GSA OIG Identifies Exposed CUI
The GSA Office of Inspector General (OIG) published an audit report finding that GSA’s Google Drive exposed a considerable amount of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). CUI covers a broad range of sensitive government information that agencies and contractors must protect from unauthorized access.
GSA’s Google Drive contained improperly exposed information, including:
- Physical security information related to federal buildings;
- Individuals personally identifiable information like social security numbers; and
- General proprietary business information.
This information was shared with “all GSA users,” including employees and certain contractors. GSA uses a third-party data loss prevention tool, and the OIG identified six issues related to its management. The OIG made seven recommendations to GSA’s Chief Information Officer, including to “identify and notify the individuals affected by the exposed information.” GSA agreed with the recommendations.
Off the Shelf: Legislative Procurement Priorities on Capitol Hill
Tim Brennan, president of the Center for Procurement Advocacy, joins Off the Shelf for a spotlight on the year end legislative priorities for Congress.
Brennan identifies the principal legislative priorities before year end, including FY27 appropriations and the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). He shares how he sees the calendar playing out and how the election results may impact approaches to moving forward on appropriations and the NDAA.
He notes the multiple funding and authorization deadlines that are converging in December and how Congress may resolve them.
Brennan also discusses potential NDAA acquisition priorities, highlighting the continuing focus on commercial acquisition, intellectual and technical data requirements, and supply-chain resiliency.

Early Signs of CMMC Reform
Federal News Network reports that an early summary of Department of War (DoW) CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) task force findings outline potential program reforms aimed at reducing compliance costs. CMMC requires contractors to meet cybersecurity requirements for protecting Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
In July 2026, DoW paused plans for third-party audits by CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs), originally scheduled to begin in November 2026. DoW also released a Request for Information (RFI) seeking feedback on the burdens associated with CMMC certification and established a task force to explore reforms. A final report has not yet been published.
The early summary groups potential reforms into near-term changes, longer-term options, and changes outside DoW’s authority. Near-term options include improving consistency among DoW, assessors, and defense prime contractors; implementing NIST SP 800-171 Revision 3; and standardizing CUI marking. Longer-term options include extending Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) deadlines to up to 270 days, creating compliance templates, and aligning CMMC with existing cybersecurity regulations.
According to Federal News Network, the early summary document also suggests DoW could implement C3PAO requirements within 90 days if they apply to a smaller group of defense companies. However, it does not indicate which reforms DoW will pursue.
VA FSS Hosts Virtual Industry Day on Non-Expendable Equipment
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) program hosted a webinar covering plans to expand the scope of the FSS program to incorporate Non-Expendable Equipment. VA intends to centralize procurement of NX to better measure performance metrics such as domestic production and contract utilization. The VA views the FSS as a “unique forum that services the whole of government.” VA leadership intends for the VA FSS expansion to cover other product categories in the near future and for the VA FSS program to serve as the basis for additional healthcare product BPAs and IDIQs. During the webinar, VA FSS emphasized that they will prioritize modifications that add NX to existing FSS contracts and firms that would like to acquire an FSS contract to provide NX.
NX Medical Equipment is defined by the VA as a “category of personal property that meets three district criteria”:
- Financial Threshold: Acquisition Cost is normally $300 or more
- Operational Lifespan: Estimated life expectancy is 2 years or more.
- High Sensitivity: Requires strict accountability and control regardless of cost or lifespan.
The VA provided a list of “some common examples of NX Medical Equipment” including; Surgical & Lab Equipment, Scanning Equipment, Medical Pumps, Hospital Beds & Durable Devices.
The VA is also accepting proposals of entire catalogs including services such as installation, service agreements, and training. Firms are limited to one product line per request for modification. A complete package will include the following:
- Fully Completed Request for Modification/Vendor Responses
- Current, accurate and completed Commercial Sales Practices
- Completed Price Proposal Spreadsheet
- Signatory Authority Form
- Letter of Supply (if applicable)
- Commercial Agreements & Policies
James Booth and Deborah Zuckswerth, Chiefs of Medical/Surgical Divisions A, B and C, are available to schedule a meeting to discuss eligibility requirements. They can be contacted at James.booth@va.gov and Deborah.Zuckswerth@va.gov.

Legal Corner: Sent Is Not Received: GAO Applies the RFO’s Late-Submission Rule to Quotation Blocked by a Spam Filter
By Evan Williams, Luke Levasseur & David O’Neill on October 29, 2026
The Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) may give contracting officers more discretion after a late quotation or offer is received before award. It does not, however, change the fundamental rule that a contractor still must get its submission to the government office designated in the solicitation by the deadline. A sent-message confirmation from the contractor’s own email system is not enough. If an emailed proposal or quotation is stopped by the agency’s security tools before it reaches the designated inbox, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) will likely treat the submission as not received.
Casey & Company LLC, B-424785 (Oct. 14, 2026) is a useful reminder of the late-submission rule that also raises issues concerning how the RFO may affect such protests. Casey sent its quotation six days before the deadline, but the government’s anti-spam system marked the email as a “High Confidence Phish” and quarantined it. The email reached an agency server, but it never reached the contracting officer’s inbox. GAO denied the protest because receipt by the server was not receipt at the designated email address, and because the record did not show a systemic failure.
What the RFO Changed, and What It Did Not
Before the RFO, the provision at FAR 52.212-1(f) contained the familiar late-offer framework. The offeror bore responsibility for getting the offer to the designated government office on time, and a late offer generally could not be considered unless narrow conditions applied, including the electronic-commerce and government-control exceptions that have driven much of the litigation over email submissions.
The RFO attempted to simplify that approach. RFO Part 12 tells contracting officers to consider timely quotations and offers, and to exercise business judgment in deciding whether to accept a quotation or offer received after the due date or time. The revised RFO 52.212-1 text also moves the late-submission rule to paragraph (c), where the central question is whether the offer was received before award and whether accepting it would unduly delay the acquisition.
As explained below, the RFO change did not save Casey’s quotation.
The Casey & Company Decision
The U.S. National Park Service (NPS) issued RFQ No. 140P1326Q0029 as a small business set-aside under the Department of the Interior’s (DOI) RFO Part 12 class deviation. The RFQ sought leaf removal services for Rock Creek National Park, contemplated a fixed-price purchase order, and made award to the responsible vendor submitting the lowest-priced quotation. Vendors had to email quotations to the contracting officer at the address listed in the solicitation by 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 29. The RFQ warned vendors to account for transmission delays between submission and receipt, and it stated that late quotes or proposals would not be accepted.
Casey sent its quotation to the solicitation email address on July 23 at 8:59 a.m. Eastern Time and received a delivery confirmation from its own Microsoft Outlook system. By the July 29 closing time, the contracting officer had received 15 quotations in his inbox, but not Casey’s. After NPS posted the award notice on August 11, Casey requested a debriefing and attached its quotation to that request. The contracting officer responded that he had no record of receiving Casey’s quote before then, searched his inbox, and then requested an internal IT investigation.
The investigation showed that NPS’s email system received Casey’s email, marked it as a “High Confidence Phish,” and quarantined it under the agency’s anti-spam policy. Casey argued that server-level receipt made the quotation timely. GAO disagreed.
In its decision, GAO reiterated that a vendor must ensure that an electronically submitted quotation is received by, not merely submitted to, the appropriate agency email address before closing. The agency’s quarantine record showed that the email was “Received” by the server but “Not yet released to” the contracting officer’s email address, which meant the quotation never reached the designated recipient.
GAO also rejected Casey’s systemic-failure argument. Although GAO has sustained protests when an agency’s system suffered a systemic failure that kept received quotations from being fairly considered, GAO requires more than an isolated loss or occasional mishandling. In this case, GAO pointed to the fact that all 15 other vendors’ quotations reached the contracting officer’s inbox. For these reasons, GAO denied Casey’s protest.
Practical Takeaways for Contractors
Casey & Company shows that while the RFO may loosen some late-submission rules, contractors remain responsible for ensuring that the government receives their offers at the location set forth in the solicitation (e.g., specific email inbox). Contractors should keep the following points in mind:
- Start with the solicitation, not the general rule. Agencies are implementing the RFO through class deviations and solicitation-specific provisions. Contractors therefore need to read the actual submission instructions, all of the incorporated clauses or provisions, and any late-submission language before assuming that a general FAR exception applies.
- Submit early and confirm actual receipt. A vendor-side delivery confirmationis helpful evidence, but it is not the same as confirmation that the contracting officer received the quotation. Accordingly, offerors should ask the contracting officer to confirm receipt while there is still time to fix a problem.
- Watch for filtering red flags. Emails sent through third-party platforms—or emails with attachments that look unusual to agency security tools—may be filtered before they reach the contracting officer. If prior communications have been quarantined, delayed, or ignored, offerors should assume the same thing can happen to a proposal or quotation and verify receipt directly.
- Use the safest permitted submission method. Large files, compressed attachments, embedded links, and unusual file types can create avoidable delivery risk. If the solicitation permits alternatives, offerors should consider whether a secure file-transfer portal, smaller separate files, or another approved method would reduce that risk.
- Think carefully about protest forum. As this blog has previously discussed, GAO generally takes a strict view of email-submission timeliness, and although the Court of Federal Claims has issued rulings similar to Casey & Company regarding offerors’ emails caught in security filters, it has been more receptive to government-control and related arguments on different records. That forum issue remains important after the RFO because Casey confirms that GAO will still ask whether the quotation reached the solicitation’s designated receipt point.
In short, the main takeaway from Casey & Company is that even under the RFO, getting the offer to the government is the contractor’s job. As a result, contractors should be persistent in confirming, before the deadline, that the agency has actually received their quotation or proposal.

DHS Orders Removal of Chinese AI Tool From Federal Agencies
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act (FASCSA) Order directing federal civilian agencies to remove products and services developed by DeepSeek from their IT systems. DeepSeek is a Chinese AI company known for its “open weight” large language models. The order also prohibits future purchases of DeepSeek technology, including products from its affiliates and third-party tools built using its technology.
Although DeepSeek has gained popularity as a lower-cost AI option, its models are not as advanced as leading U.S. models. DHS cited concerns that using DeepSeek “may result in the transfer of sensitive data to the [People’s Republic of China] if used by U.S. government employees or vendors.” DHS also noted the potential for malware hidden within DeepSeek models.
