After three years of buildout, the CODY bot, a tool used to streamline procurement processes at the General Services Administration, is now ready for use across the federal landscape. CODY aggregates prerequisite data into a checklist, enabling staffers to see if a vendor has met all representation requirements. It ensures no active federal debt against a vendor and no exclusionary or responsibility cautions to trigger notifications. Offerors should carefully review submissions to ensure the proposal clearly addresses all prerequisites and responsibility requirements to limit the risk of early rejection.
