Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 10.07.04
Adding to the risk of accepting out-of-scope work that potentially could result in avoidance of the contract order, the GSA debarring official has recently put the burden on the contractor to police the situation: "We cannot have a situation where a contractor knows or should have known that something is wrong and does not at least raise the issue with the contracting officer, or, if appropriate, higher authority. On a case-by-case basis, if we determine that a contractor has not followed the rules, we may take appropriate action in the context of contractor responsibility."

AI for Government: 7 Days for Contractor Comments on GSA Proposed Contract Clause for AI Systems
On March 6, 2026, the General Services Administration (GSA) issued a significant proposed contract clause, GSAR 552.239-7001, Basic Safeguarding of Artificial Intelligence Systems (“Clause”), for inclusion in GSA Schedule solicitations and contracts for AI capabilities. The proposed clause would impose substantial new requirements related to AI sources, intellectual property rights, data use, change management, and performance standards. The Clause would also take precedence over any other contract terms (including commercial licensing terms) related to AI, including a Seller’s terms of sale and service to which the Government had previously agreed. GSA requests comments by March 20, 2026.
