## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Government Procurement & Tendering](https://ailawframework.com/practice/government-procurement-and-tendering.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | List the facts the lawyer marks in the firm's own papers, each with its source page. Do not write the response that will be sent and do not add a capability the papers do not state. |
| What the lawyer must review | The response is a communication to the Government, and the lawyer writes it. ABA Model Rule 1.6(a) provides that a lawyer shall not reveal information relating to the representation of a client unless the client gives informed consent, the disclosure is impliedly authorized in order to carry out the representation, or the disclosure is permitted by paragraph (b). ABA Formal Opinion 512 (29 July 2024) applies that limit to information placed in a generative tool and leaves the lawyer responsible for what is sent. FAR 3.104-3 prohibits knowing disclosure of another person's contractor bid or proposal information, or of source selection information, before award, other than as provided by law. The tool writes none of the response. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List the facts the lawyer marks in the firm's own papers, each with its source page. Do not write the response that will be sent and do not add a capability the papers do not state.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- A request for information can still carry another offeror's material. Do not paste that material into the list.
- The fact list is not the submission.
