# Federal Agencies Expand AI Data Sharing

Federal civilian agencies are expanding AI-enabled data sharing through CMS health technology initiatives, the America.gov information gateway, and a science and technology collaboration between NIST and DOE. These efforts point to potential demand for interoperability, AI implementation, cybersecurity, and critical-infrastructure protection. The FedCiv Summit on October 29, 2026, offers contractors a near-term opportunity to hear agency priorities; separately, a long-term extension of CISA 2015 protections remains unresolved amid Senate disagreement.

- Companies offering interoperable data platforms, AI implementation, cybersecurity, or critical-infrastructure protection services may find relevant demand across these initiatives.
- Procurement teams can use the October 29 FedCiv Summit to hear agency priorities and identify areas relevant to their capabilities.
- The unresolved extension of CISA 2015 protections signals continued legislative uncertainty around the cybersecurity protections; no specific contract opportunity or procurement deadline is identified in the signal.
