The standard establishes a uniform set of definitions and a process model for the procurement of Artificial Intelligence Systems (AIS) and Automated Decision Systems (ADS) by which government entities can address socio-technical and responsible innovation considerations to serve the public interest. The process requirements include the framing of procurement from an IEEE Ethically Aligned Design (EAD) [B28]6 foundation and a participatory approach that redefines traditional stages of procurement, such as: problem definition, solicitation preparation, vendor evaluation, solution evaluation, contract negotiation, and contract monitoring. The scope of the standard only addresses the procurement of commercial AIS products and services (CAIPS). This standard does not give specific guidance on in-house AIS development or hybrid AIS public-private development between buyers and sellers. Nor does the standard provide guidance to procurement teams seeking to use AIS as a buying tool that supports the duties and responsibilities of the procurement job function.
