Significant Changes Planned For Artificial Intelligence And Domestic Sourcing
The General Services Administration (GSA) has announced plans to issue Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Refresh 34 in November 2026, which includes significant changes to the existing schedule. The refresh introduces a new artificial intelligence clause, requiring contractors to implement controls addressing government data submitted to or created by large language models. Additionally, a domestic end product clause is introduced, allowing contractors to certify that listed products are manufactured in the US and meet certain minimum amounts of American-made or sourced components. These changes aim to enhance supply chain security and promote domestic sourcing, as reported by Covington & Burling LLP.
