From Blank Stares to Industry Standard: Procurement Sciences Returns to APMP BPC Nashville 2025

Written by Christian Ferreira | April 14, 2025

Pioneering the Human+AI Revolution in Government Contracting

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.

Throughout this rapid transformation, we've remained steadfast in our core mission: revolutionizing the industry with Humans in the Loop and in control of the AI. While others rush to replace human expertise with automation, our approach has always been different—we use AI to supercharge teams, not supplant them.

The Human+AI Advantage: Automation with Purpose

We take the approach where AI can help your entire BD, Capture, and Proposal team, adding efficiency and a trusted advisor for every step and every task along the rigorous journey to find, respond to, and win a proposal. Our philosophy is simple but powerful: automate the mundane tasks that drain creative energy, and free your team to be more strategic and creative.

This approach has resonated deeply across the federal contracting landscape, from small businesses making their first foray into government work to Fortune 100 giants managing complex proposal portfolios.

The results speak volumes: Awarded.AI has helped clients secure over $1 billion in contract awards while reducing proposal development time by an average of 65%—all while keeping humans at the center of the decision-making process.

Ethical AI Implementation: Beyond the Technology

We continue to push the boundaries of what's possible by standing at our valued customers' sides, ensuring ethical and safe use of AI while redefining how teams incorporate artificial intelligence as a trusted team member.

Featured Session: AI in Proposals: Where Human Insight Makes the Difference

This year, we're especially excited to present a critical session on the evolving relationship between AI and human expertise in proposal development. Join our CEO Christian Ferreira on Monday, May 19 from 2:30-3:15PM for an insightful exploration of:

  • The importance of human-in-the-loop approaches to AI implementation 
  • How, when AI becomes table stakes, human operators become the real differentiators 
  • The inherent limitations of AI and where human judgment remains essential 
  • The rapid adoption and advancement of AI specifically for Proposal, BD, and Capture functions 
  • Strategies for upskilling teams and fostering continuous learning in an AI-enabled environment 
  • Practical tips for AI adoption that keep you ahead of the competition

As AI tools become ubiquitous, this session will equip you with the knowledge to leverage technology effectively while preserving the human expertise that ultimately wins contracts.
