DOSAR 652.239-801 DISCLOSURE OF AI USE CLAUSE (DEVIATION) (SEP 2025)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause-

Artificial Intelligence (AI): The term "artificial intelligence" has the meaning provided in Section 238(g) of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019.

i. This definition of AI encompasses, but is not limited to, the AI technical subfields of machine learning (including deep learning as well as supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised approaches), reinforcement learning, transfer learning, and generative AI.

ii. ii. This definition of AI does not include robotic process automation or other systems whose behavior is defined only by human-defined rules or that learn solely by repeating an observed practice exactly as it was conducted.

iii. For this definition, no system should be considered too simple to qualify as covered AI due to a lack of technical complexity (e.g., the smaller number of parameters in a model, the type of model, or the amount of data used for training purposes).

iv. This definition includes systems that are fully autonomous, partially autonomous, and not autonomous, and it includes systems that operate both with and without human oversight.

(b) Disclosure of AI Use in Contract Performance. When the Contractor or any of its subcontractors, vendors, or agents intends to incorporate AI into the performance of the contract, the

Contractor shall provide the following disclosures in its offer:

Disclose the intended use of AI and provide a description of the AI system or capability and its purpose within the contract scope; specify whether the system was developed internally, acquired from a third party, or is publicly/commercially available; indicate if the AI system will process PII or be used in ways that may affect privacy, civil rights, safety, or public interaction; detail the governance, oversight, and human-in-the-loop mechanisms to be applied; and describe any applicable testing, evaluation, risk management, or bias mitigation measures that have been or will be implemented.

These disclosures must be updated promptly to the Contracting Officer during the period of performance upon any new use of AI or significant material change to the existing AI capability, its functionality, its use case, or its data inputs/outputs during the life of the contract.

The Government reserves the right to review the proposed AI use, request additional safeguards or controls, and/or disallow its use if it is deemed inconsistent with agency policy, legal requirements, or federal AI governance standards.

(End of Clause)

System for Award Management (SAM) Registration: In accordance with FAR 52.204-7 and FAR 52.204-13, offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), https://www.sam.gov, at the time of offer submission and at the time of contract award. Offerors shall provide their Unique Entity Identifier
