What happened
The U.S. Army uses DataRobot to predict which contracts are most likely to underspend their funding, so contracting officers can deobligate those funds and reallocate them to other high-priority projects. Predictions are governed in DataRobot and prioritized contracts are triaged in dashboards.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of DataRobot and U.S. Army, not ours.
- 3-5x“AI at Scale – 1,500+ users and 3-5x better at finding high-risk contracts than officers alone.”
- nearly $1B“The Army has identified nearly $1B annually over the last two years and reallocated these critical funds due, in part, to successful machine learning technology.”
The U.S. Army tapped DataRobot to find contracts with unused funds, empowering contracting officers to reclaim the money and reallocate it to other vital areas—boosting the deobligation rate and saving thousands of staff hours.
Our model was deployed into the Army Vantage Platform allowing Army Contracting Command to de-obligate those funds and reuse them for other priorities.
