FEDERAL ACQUISITION INSTITUTE
The PTAI is a collaborative government-industry initiative, sponsored by the Chief Acquisition Officers (CAO) Council and supported by the contributions of federal agencies.
The tool is designed to increase workforce and industry awareness of tested innovative business practices and technologies and encourage further testing, adoption and adaption of these techniques and technologies, as appropriate and consistent with agency policy, the FAR, and applicable law.

“Acquisition techniques reflect business practices consistent with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), unless noted otherwise. Acquisition automations use innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, and robotic process automation to reduce human intervention in processes or improve decision-making. The automations are provided as examples to encourage further experimentation and testing of existing automations, developing and sharing of new automations across the acquisition lifecycle, and partnering on projects, which leverages limited resources. The acquisition techniques and automations on the PTAI have helped agencies achieve one or more of the following results: reduced barriers to entry, accelerated award, faster delivery, improved customer satisfaction, increased accuracy, saved or redirected labor hours, and/or cost avoidance.

FAI was honored by the Omni Awards Fall 2019 contest with a Bronze Award for its production of the Procurement Innovation Lab (PIL) Primer. The PIL Primer was the only Government submission that was honored with an award. Featuring presenters from the Department of Homeland Security’s Procurement Innovation Lab, it provides an overview of methods used by DHS to change the agency’s procurement culture.
Developed for the federal civilian acquisition workforce, this introductory video series outlines eight proven techniques to improve procurement outcomes and fuel cultural change in federal agencies. The condensed format summarizes key concepts from the all-day, intensive, PIL Boot Camp workshop. The video series is supplemented with workbook, which includes exercises for learners to practice the techniques for successful procurement culture change.”
The Omni Awards exist to recognize outstanding achievements in film/video, website,and mobile apps.”
