Inefficient procurement and contract management hinders Air Force mission readiness and response to emerging threats. A three-year Air Force Research Lab Materials and Materials and Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL/RX) study pinpointed pre-solicitation development as a critical bottleneck – revealing communication challenges amongst Project Managers (PMs), Contracting Officers (COs) and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) – often resulting in delays exceeding 12 months.
 
New AI-driven approaches can address these bottlenecks, leading to better outcomes. Hear about how these innovative solutions can reduce SOW ambiguity, increase compliance, speed up processes, and enhance collaboration across teams.
 
Join us to hear from the lead author of this study and AFRL and Authorium leaders working on developing innovative solutions to this critical challenge:
