Procurement Sciences Appoints Former Jasper AI and Divvy Executive, Greg Larson as Chief Technology Officer

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.

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.

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.
