On 4 July 2025 the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) became law, reshaping federal—and many SLED—priorities for the rest of the decade. Below are the 10 most actionable takeaways, 5 mega-trends, and 5 forward-looking predictions every capture leader, BD VP, or C-suite executive needs to anchor FY-26 pipeline strategy.
If you’re a government contractor, you know finding the right bids and staying competitive is no walk in the park. Sifting through contracts, researching markets, and nailing compliance can take days. But AI is shaking things up in 2025, making it easier to win bids without burning out. Here’s how AI for government contracting can help you work smarter and come out on top.
Washington, D.C. — June 2, 2025 — Procurement Sciences AI, one of the fastest-growing AI companies transforming how government contractors win, deliver, and operate, today announced the appointment of Greg Larson as Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

As recent executive orders reshape the regulatory landscape, set-asides remain a cornerstone of federal procurement strategy. GovCon professionals can leverage AI to navigate these changes and maximize set-aside opportunities for sustainable growth.
Recently, researchers from MIT published a review of more than 100 studies focused on human-AI collaboration. While only a handful of these studies examined content creation— just 10%— the researchers found that human-AI collaborations performed better on content creation than decision-making. As a matter of fact, the data showed a positive average effect size, which is a measure of the impacts of using a new approach, that was significantly larger than what was found for decision-making tasks.
The federal contracting landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. With the announcement of the “Restoring Common Sense to Federal Procurement” Executive Order on April 15, 2025, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) is set for its most significant overhaul in decades—dubbed “FAR 2.0.” A sprawling 2,000-page regulatory behemoth the FAR has long been criticized for its complexity and cost. This new Executive Order aims to streamline it into a leaner, more business-friendly framework by October 2025—a mere 180 days from now.
Since 2018, World Creativity and Innovation Day has been observed. The intention is to take a moment to recognize what is possible when imagination, ideas, and inspiration collide with knowledge, technology, and more.
Recent developments, including the reduction or elimination of certain government agencies that previously funded contracts, have intensified the competition in government contracting. As funding pools tighten, contractors find themselves vying for a shrinking number of opportunities. In this environment, the need for efficiency solutions like Awarded.AI by Procurement Sciences has become more critical than ever.
We are thrilled to share an exciting milestone for our company. We have been recognized as the Top Government Contractors AI Platform for 2025 by CIO Review, an honor that highlights our dedication to improving procurement with smart technology and practical solutions.
Two years ago at the APMP Bids and Proposals Conference in Orlando, Procurement Sciences stood at the podium discussing AI in proposal development—and was met with blank stares. Few could grasp the transformative change that we were already pioneering. Fast forward to 2025, and AI is everywhere—widely recognized as the most powerful technology of our era, yet more confusing than ever. The market is flooded with solutions using "AI" merely as a buzzword to stay relevant, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish between superficial implementations and what a true AI-first solution can accomplish for your teams.
Recently, Procurement Sciences CEO Christian Ferreira moderated a panel of GovCon industry leaders to discuss impacts of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on procurement professionals across the GovCon space. It is almost possible to have missed the transformative and often discombobulating shifts in the federal landscape DOGE has ignited, creating disruption across government agencies and, by extension, the entire government contracting ecosystem.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has fundamentally altered the government contracting environment, creating both challenges and opportunities. With increased scrutiny on federal spending and a push toward technological innovation, contractors face a new paradigm where efficiency isn't just preferred—it's mandated. As DOGE reshapes federal operations, those who fail to adapt risk being left behind in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
As a former Proposal Writer, I have worked for companies that have deep experience in proposal development and submission as well as those looking to wade into the proposal development waters as another channel of business development. In the latter case, I was so excited when we finally had resumes formatted consistently, a folder of Past Performance summaries, and various case studies that captured the tailored solutions we provided clients. With these files and folders at my fingertips, it was just a matter of drawing from them to tailor our submissions, win, and then upload those winning submissions to draw from in the future. And with generative AI in my toolbox, it became even faster to tap into this data for responses.
Two leading companies have joined forces to improve the processes of capture, business development, and proposal management for government contractors.

I’ve been lucky to work with some exciting, cutting-edge technologies over the course of my career. Back in the mid-to-late 90s, biometrics—especially facial recognition—was this ‘new’ technology that hadn’t really taken off in the market yet. But potential buyers were already buzzing with ideas, imagining all the ways it could be used for security and convenience.
Today, Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) is transforming industries, including government contracting (GovCon) and procurement, by streamlining processes and automating tasks. While it is already much further along on the adoption trail than Facial Recognition (FR) biometrics was in the 90s, it’s interesting to see some of the same adoption challenges come up in conversations with current users and potential customers at Procurement Sciences.
Many of these mirror similar concerns to those in the early days of FR.

Nowadays it is difficult to turn on the television, read the news, or even scroll through LinkedIn without generative AI (GenAI) being front and center. While some government contractors have been early adopters and have benefitted from the time and cost savings GenAI offers, many are still struggling with internal governance questions, general bureaucracy, fear of the unknown, or are still in the early planning or discovery stages. If you’re looking to adopt Gen AI for your GovCon organization, this guide will help you understand the steps from a Project Manager’s perspective.
