AI is changing government contracting. But what happens when it starts influencing who wins the work?

On this episode of #GovCom: It’s a Vibe, Alexa Tsui chats with David, Partner at Burr & Forman, about how AI is changing federal procurement, what contractors need to watch for, and the questions nobody can afford to ignore.

From AI-generated proposals to AI-assisted bid evaluations, they get into the growing conversation around transparency and what happens when contractors challenge a contract award involving AI.

They also talk about the bigger changes happening across GovCon, including the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO), procurement reform, contracting officer discretion, and proposed changes to small business size standards.

Beyond AI, David shares insights on bid protests, joint ventures, mentor-protégé programs, and mergers and acquisitions. He also explains why asking the right questions before submitting a proposal can save contractors time, money, and a lot of frustration.

What does all of this mean for contractors trying to stay competitive? Alexa and David break down the legal changes, real-world challenges, and practical considerations worth keeping on your radar as government contracting continues to evolve.
