The General Services Administration (GSA) has developed a new procurement automation tool, CODY, which is now ready for use across the federal landscape. The tool aggregates prerequisite data into a checklist to check vendors representation requirements, including no active federal debt against a vendor, and no exclusionary or responsibility cautions to trigger notifications. The GSA is sharing the CODY code with other agencies that use Robotic Process Automation programs and similar RPA technology. The agency primarily tracks how many hours the bot saves in a year rather than the costs saved. CODYs completion resulted in the cancellation of a $423,000 contract.
