Regulatory Modernization Pilot

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within HHS is issuing a Sources‑Sought Notice (SSN 7571TE26Q00017) to identify qualified firms—particularly small businesses—that can provide a commercially available, cloud‑based, AI‑enabled platform to modernize ACF’s regulatory and sub‑regulatory review processes. The required solution must support AI‑assisted drafting of Notices of Proposed Rulemaking for Federal Register publication, analytical review of regulatory documents, regulatory cost‑benefit analysis concepts, alignment with Federal Register drafting conventions, and be immediately deployable in an operational environment. The suggested NAICS code is 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, and Related Services) with a $40 million size standard. Responses are voluntary and will not result in a contract award; they are solely for market research to determine acquisition strategy and potential small‑business set‑aside eligibility. Interested firms must submit, by 4:00 PM Eastern on April 8 2026, a completed vendor questionnaire, company information (UEI, socio‑economic status, contact details, current government contracts, GSA/GWAC schedules), product brochures or capability statements, and detailed answers to questions on pricing models, prior use for regulatory text, AI‑assisted cost‑benefit analysis capability, security certifications (e.g., FedRAMP, SOC 2), data sourcing, and the underlying large language model. Submissions should be emailed to Contracting Officer Rosa Lopez (Rosa.Lopez@hhs.gov) and reference the notice number. No proprietary, classified, or confidential information should be included, and the government reserves the right to use any non‑proprietary technical data in future solicitations.
