The Government Accountability Office denied Trax’s bid protest in May. The suit also claims that the Army conceded that one of the weaknesses it identified with Trax’s bid is unsupported by documentation. Trax is not the first contractor to publicly allege that an agency has wrongfully used AI to evaluate contract bids. Salient CRGT alleged that a Defense Department subagency improperly used AI, rather than human employees, to evaluate bids. The Defense Department has said that it used AI to help evaluate bids in several recent solicitations.
