Statement of Work (IDIQ) AI Use Case: Cost-Benefit Analysis and Strategic Considerations
Statement of Work
1. Introduction The AOUSC will conduct comprehensive analysis that uphold the judiciary’s policies and procedures surrounding the adoption of artificial intelligence platforms, as well as uphold our commitment to Congress, the Judicial Conference, the public and the AI Task force by exploring the cost impacts of implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions into Judiciary systems and operations. We will provide rigorous, documented analysis to ensure the judiciary will make informed decisions, based on evidence, before spending taxpayer funds.
2. Background
The Director of the AO is responsible under 18 U.S.C. § 3672 to “investigate the work of probation officers and make recommendations concerning the same to the respective judges … [and] promote the efficient administration of the probation system and enforcement of the probation laws in all United States courts.” In addition, under the purview of 18 U.S.C. §§ 3152, 3153 and the Guide to Judiciary Policy, Vol. 8A, Appendix 5A, the Director is responsible for the establishment of pretrial services in the courts and is authorized to access pretrial services information for technical assistance, assessments, or other reviews.
Under that authority, PPSO is responsible for overseeing and providing guidance for the federal pretrial and post-conviction supervision systems using an approach grounded on evidence-based practices. A major component of using evidence-based approaches involves adopting a supervision framework in which probation officers routinely assess the recidivism risk characteristics of the federal pretrial and post-conviction populations.
Moreover, an evidence-based approach involves the utilization of data to assess the effectiveness of various treatment, supervision, and monitoring programs funded by the federal probation and pretrial service offices.
The Administrative Office (AO) Director has tasked the Probation and Pretrial Services Office (PPSO) with evaluating each endorsed use case and reporting findings to the AI Task Force. This Statement of Work (SOW) establishes the requirements needed for a qualified vendor to conduct those evaluations, with cost-benefit analysis as the primary analytical focus, supported by governance and approval structure assessment and technical integration analysis. Together, these three pillars will provide the AO and PPSO with the information necessary to make informed investment, implementation, and policy decisions.
