Problem the AI is intended to solve

AI is used to help inventory managers and purchasing agents locate the right products from the Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor (MSPV) catalog that can be substituted for recent Government Purchase Card (GPC) purchases. It enables efficient management of expenses and ensures purchase correctness by surfacing untriaged items and comparing them to MSPV contracted items.

Expected benefits

Reduced GPC spend, increased MSPV utilization, and overall increased compliance with Executive Order mandates to curb GPC spend.

System outputs

AI outputs are text-based and intended to provide justification and assistance to inventory managers and purchasing agents making the decision about replacing GPC purchases with MSPV items. These outputs include: * Untriaged and triaged tabs with item details and match confidence levels. * In-depth views with GPC level purchase data and MSPV catalog matching. * Options to mark items for replacements or CPRC approval. * Tracking and action statuses such as archived, ready for procurement, or completed.
