In this episode of FedBiz'5, host Bobby Testa dives into one of the biggest shifts in government contracting: the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in federal procurement. With more than 200 active AI use cases across federal agencies—from the DoD's Project Maven to the IRS's chatbot—AI is no longer emerging. It's operational, funded, and rapidly expanding.

Bobby breaks down five critical insights government contractors need to understand right now if they want to stay ahead in this evolving space. This episode isn't about theory—it's about real agency usage, real budgets, real compliance expectations, and real market strategies that help small to mid-sized contractors show up and compete.

You’ll learn:

  • How AI is currently being used across federal agencies
  • Where AI-related opportunities are growing (hint: DoD, VA, NIH)
  • What regulatory expectations you need to prepare for (yes, FAR clauses are coming)
  • How to position your AI capabilities in SAM.gov, DSBS, and capability statements
  • Why early outreach—RFIs, Industry Days, OSDBUs, and teaming—is more important than ever

Whether your company offers AI tools, supports infrastructure, provides training, or consults on ethical compliance, this episode will show you how to align with what agencies are actually buying.

We also explore how tools like FedBiz365 can uncover pre-solicitation activity, highlight AI-related trends, and help you build a smart, targeted strategy based on real data—not guesswork.

And of course, Bobby keeps it real (and funny) as always, because what’s a discussion about AI and federal procurement without a little commentary on IRS hold music, fantasy football algorithms, and black-box buzzwords?

🎯 The question isn’t “Are agencies using AI?” It’s “Are they using yours?”
