Procurement Readiness Check

A neutral review of procurement processes as they relate to the ATIC Standard.


The Procurement Readiness Check helps organizations understand whether their procurement workflows support the transparency, provenance, and vendor independence expectations of the ATIC Standard. It clarifies how procurement decisions intersect with governance obligations when acquiring AI systems. This is a neutral review, not procurement consulting or vendor evaluation.


What This Check Provides

  • A high‑level review of procurement workflows and documentation practices

  • Identification of transparency requirements relevant to AI acquisition

  • A review of provenance expectations for vendor‑provided systems

  • A non‑binding overview of vendor independence considerations

  • A mapping of procurement practices to the Standard’s principles

What This Check Does Not Include

To maintain neutrality, ATIC does not:

  • provide procurement consulting

  • recommend vendors

  • negotiate contracts

  • evaluate pricing or performance

  • provide legal or commercial advice


Who This Check Is For

  • Procurement teams acquiring AI systems

  • Organizations preparing for AOIC certification

  • Leaders evaluating vendor risk

  • Teams seeking governance‑aligned procurement practices

Outcome

Organizations receive a structured summary of procurement alignment with the ATIC Standard, supporting internal decision‑making and future certification readiness.
