# Federal Agencies Screen AI-Generated Proposals

Federal agencies are receiving more AI-generated responses to RFIs and RFPs, making it harder to distinguish vendors with demonstrated capabilities from submissions that rely on generic or unsupported claims. Procurement signals include an ICE RFI seeking ways to identify hands-on vendor capability and a DoD RFP disclosing possible AI assistance in proposal analysis while reserving final evaluations and source-selection decisions for government personnel. Contractors should submit tailored, evidence-backed responses; agencies may use AI-assisted analysis alongside human decision-makers.

- Contractors should connect claims directly to relevant experience and provide evidence of hands-on capabilities rather than relying on generic AI-generated language.
- Agencies may use AI tools to help analyze proposal quality and authenticity, but the cited DoD RFP states that government personnel retain final evaluation and source-selection authority.
- Providers of AI-assisted response-drafting tools are relevant to this trend, while contractors using such tools should review and substantiate submitted content.
