The standard helps procurement teams reduce risks in artificial intelligence systems (AIS) by using tailored risk management practices when purchasing AIS. Specific process steps for AIS problem definition, solicitation preparation, vendor and solution evaluation, contract negotiation, and contract monitoring are described. Risk management methodologies that augment customary activities and tasks performed during the procurement life cycle are provided including identifying, analyzing, evaluating, prioritizing, mitigating, and controlling unique AIS risks that can detract from unique AIS benefits. Practical AIS procurement tools and metrics and how procurement teams can use and apply them are also provided. The standard focuses explicitly on AIS risks (when compared to traditional, non-AIS technology) and is designed to address the purchase of commercial AI products and services procured using a formal contract or contract framework. NOTE–AI and ADS are referred to as artificial intelligence systems (AIS) for simplicity.

No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
