AI Ops for Agencies & Contractors

Helping you meet federal AI mandates fast and credibly.

🏛️ The Federal Shift Is Here

In 2025, two OMB memos M-25-21 (AI Governance) and M-25-22 (AI Procurement) made AI compliance mandatory for every federal agency and their contractors.

  • Agencies must appoint a Chief AI Officer, publish a strategy, create an AI system inventory, and assess risk.

  • Contractors must prove portability and interoperability to win new work.

America’s AI Action Plan added pressure: innovate responsibly, modernize infrastructure, and report measurable progress.

Translation: Federal teams are now judged by operational readiness, not innovation decks.
