Executed April 3,2025, this memorandum provides guidance to federal agencies on the efficient and secure acquisition of AI systems and services.

AI marketplace, managing risks to privacy and civil rights, and ensuring cross-functional collaboration in procurement. It details lifecycle requirements for AI acquisition—from risk identification and market research to contract administration and closeout—with specific directives around performance monitoring, vendor lock-in protections, intellectual property, and privacy safeguards. Agencies are required to update acquisition policies, engage diverse internal stakeholders, and contribute to a shared interagency repository of best practices and tools for AI procurement.
