3. Develop and review PWS, SOW, and IGCE samples for complex federal procurements to serve as benchmarks and reference answers.
4. Evaluate AI outputs across the full contract life cycle, including pre-award planning, solicitation, negotiation, and post-award administration.
5. Provide written and verbal feedback on model outputs and procurement documents, with actionable recommendations for improving model performance and process quality.
6. Apply real-world contracting expertise to annotate, review, and refine procurement-related data used to train and evaluate AI-driven models.
