The joint Blanket Purchase Agreement will
enable HHS to rapidly deploy and scale enterprise AI solutions
across the department, including the NIH, FDA, and CDC
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has
awarded a joint $90 million, five-year agreement to CITI, the
software services and product company, and C3 AI (NYSE: AI), the
Enterprise AI application software company, through its partnership
with Carahsoft.
The Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), called “Solutioning with
Holistic Analytics Restructured for the Enterprise (SHARE),” will
accelerate enterprise AI deployments across the entire HHS, which
includes the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), and the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Through the SHARE BPA, the HHS’s various agencies and missions
can select C3 AI to support data-driven work. For example, the HHS
can leverage the C3 AI Application Platform to rapidly deploy use
cases and scale AI applications to solve public health challenges
in the event of a future pandemic. The BPA allows HHS officials to
procure CITI services, C3 AI applications, and C3 AI’s secure and
powerful AI platform for data collection, analysis with machine
learning, and predictive AI capabilities.
“Our public health agencies, including the FDA and CDC, are
under incredible pressure to solve complex, life-threatening
problems, ranging from supply chain optimization for baby formula
to understanding and thwarting the next global pandemic. These
problems cannot be solved without machine learning and enterprise
AI capabilities,” said Thomas M. Siebel, Chairman and CEO of C3 AI.
“We are proud to deliver the world’s leading AI technologies,
people, and partners to HHS, and we look forward to supporting the
department’s vital missions.”
“I am very pleased to partner with C3 AI and provide agile
development services to HHS agencies to integrate the C3 AI
platform via this new SHARE BPA,” said Sunil Kolhekar, President
and CEO of CITI.
Over the past two years, C3 AI’s software has been used
extensively by data and research communities to combat the COVID-19
pandemic, while CITI has been at the forefront of developing
applications to process expedited payments for farmers hurt by
COVID. In April 2020, C3 AI deployed the C3 AI COVID-19 Data Lake
to provide the global research community access to critical data to
aid mitigation efforts. C3 AI also supported COVID-19-related
research through various grant and funding programs, awarding more
than $5 million in funding to research teams in 2020 through the
C3.ai Digital Transformation Institute and C3 AI COVID-19 Grand
Challenge.
C3 AI products are provided via General Services Administration
(GSA) Schedules contract with Carahsoft. The BPA No. is
75P001-22-A-00009.
