In this podcast, David Blackburn connects with ⁠Christian Ferreira⁠, CEO of Procurement Sciences AI. The company is reshaping how government contractors operate in a market that grows more competitive every day. Procurement Sciences AI is the team behind Awarded AI. The first AI native operating system built specifically for GovCon. A platform that unifies opportunity discovery, bid decisions, proposal automation, compliance reviews, and post award delivery inside one secure environment. It is already trusted across the industry, including by nearly a quarter of the Top 100 contractors, and it recently secured a thirty million dollar Series B to accelerate what comes next. Christian’s background in engineering, strategy, and mission focused leadership, shaped in part by his service as a Marine Corps Sergeant, informs the way the company approaches this work. Built by people who have lived the GovCon pain points, Procurement Sciences AI is targeting the core inefficiencies that slow teams down and limit their ability to compete. In this episode, Christian joins to explore the questions every GovCon leader is asking. What is the biggest friction point in the lifecycle and why is AI positioned to change it. Why generic tools like ChatGPT or Copilot cannot carry the depth and compliance needs of federal contracting. What it means to build an AI platform for GovCon rather than retrofit one. And where AI is headed across the lifecycle in the next twelve to twenty four months. If you want a clear, grounded look at how AI will reshape the future of federal contracting, this conversation is one worth your time.

In this episode, David Blackburn catches up with Corey Solivan, founder of Data Room AI. The company is building tools that take the flood of open federal data and turn it into something growth and strategy teams can actually use. Clear insight, faster planning, and a more connected view of the GovCon landscape.

We dig into three main areas.

First. The core problem that led to the creation of Data Room AI and the gaps in today’s GovCon research and planning process that many teams still struggle with.

Second. The growing conversation around AI and why it matters to distinguish between tools built for chatting and tools built for real decision support.

Third. A look at several new Data Room AI capabilities rolling out now and how they reflect the larger shift toward more intelligent, automated workspaces.

If you want a sharper sense of where GovCon data and decision-making are heading, this is a conversation worth hearing.
