Why Choose a Low-Code Solution for Government Procurement

FAQs about government acquisition software

Appian Government Acquisition solutions are low-code applications designed specifically for public sector procurement teams to manage the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements gathering and solicitation to award and post-award management. 

These solutions focus on automating workflows, ensuring compliance with federal and agency-specific regulations, and improving collaboration across stakeholders. They provide a customizable framework that helps acquisition professionals streamline complex processes, reduce manual errors, and accelerate procurement timelines.

ProcureSight Enterprise Edition is a solution in Appian’s Government Acquisition suite, deployed in Appian’s secure cloud. It is an AI-powered tool built on the Appian Platform that enhances how users search, understand, and interact with acquisition data. It uses technologies like semantic search to find highly relevant past procurements across the organization’s systems and aids in the creation of new procurements with AI. It lets users uncover insights by querying acquisition regulations, policies, and documentation in plain language. 

Appian also offers ProcureSight free and Plus editions, accessed at procuresight.com. They provide better search results from public websites like SAM.gov, FPDS, GAO, in one integrated view. They use AI to surface key insights and find answers in documents. The Plus edition integrates with Appian Requirements Management. It empowers users to automatically create requirements documents with generative AI based on similar procurements found in ProcureSight.

The Appian Government Acquisition suite manages all five phases of the federal acquisition lifecycle: acquisition planning, solicitation, evaluation, award, and post-award. It’s a complete, end-to-end solution designed for the unique requirements of federal procurement.

Appian acquisition applications can be fully integrated to provide a complete end‑to‑end solution. They can also be implemented as standalone solutions.

Appian incorporates AI capabilities into all phases of the procurement lifecycle. Some of the ways Appian uses AI in procurement include extracting data from unstructured documents, detecting similarities between procurements, clustering content such as similar questions from vendors, and classifying content like filing documents in the right folders.

Identifying potential suppliers, assessing market trends, and gauging industry capabilities are a  big part of the acquisition planning process. Past procurements can offer a wealth of useful information, but it’s difficult to find similar procurements on public government websites.

ProcureSight Enterprise Edition gives you a centralized place to easily find and analyze your organization’s procurement data. It uses AI to leverage data and documents from your past procurements—such as solicitations, contracts, market research, and performance work statements—to provide valuable insight into pricing, vendor performance, contract structure, and more. It automatically displays key information and builds new documents with AI.

ProcureSight Core and Plus editions are AI-powered tools that use semantic search to quickly find procurements on public government websites similar to the one you’re creating. They display all associated documents and data—solicitations, awards, vendor and protest data—in one place. They automatically surface insights from documents and offer AI chat to instantly find the precise information you’re looking for. When integrated with Appian’s Requirements Management solution in the Appian Government Acquisition suite, ProcureSight can also draft your documents with generative AI.

Yes. Appian’s provides separate end-to-end procurement solutions for federal and state and local government organizations:

  • Appian Government Acquisition suite is designed for the procurement needs of federal government agencies.

  • Appian eProcurement solutions are designed for the procurement needs of state and local government agencies.

An end-to-end acquisition process strategy in federal procurement might begin with early engagement between program managers, contracting officers, and end users to define mission needs and conduct robust market research. 

For example, an agency seeking to modernize its data infrastructure might form a cross-functional acquisition team to assess available commercial solutions, analyze acquisition alternatives, and determine the most appropriate vehicle—such as a Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) or a multiple-award BPA. The team would develop a performance-based Statement of Objectives (SOO), emphasizing outcomes rather than prescriptive requirements, and include evaluation criteria aligned with mission goals.

From there, the strategy would guide the process through solicitation, source selection, and award, with continued stakeholder collaboration to manage risk and ensure accountability. Post-award, the team would monitor contractor performance using key performance indicators (KPIs), conduct regular reviews, and plan for transition or sustainment well in advance. Throughout the process, the agency would leverage digital tools like ProcureSight to ensure transparency, compliance, and efficiency—making the acquisition truly end-to-end from planning to performance monitoring.
