Cal Poly seeks to transform procurement process with generative AI-powered scope of work generation
In today’s complex procurement landscape, creating comprehensive and accurate statements of work scopes can present a challenge for university procurement teams. To address this growing challenge, the Digital Transformation Hub (DxHub) at Cal Poly—powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and part of the AWS Cloud Innovation Centers (CIC) program—took action. The DxHub collaborated with the university’s Strategic Business Services department to create “Scope Builder,” a generative AI-powered application that aims to revolutionize how procurement specialists develop work scopes for university requests for proposals (RFPs) and contracts.
