GSAR data safeguarding clause for LLM acquisitions

Current understanding

The General Services Administration is soliciting public comment (via listening sessions and a request for comments) on a draft General Services Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) clause that would impose basic data safeguarding standards on Large Language Model AI systems procured or used in federal acquisitions. If finalized, the clause would be the first federal acquisition regulation provision specifically targeting LLM data handling, affecting vendors selling AI systems to the government and shaping baseline security expectations for federal LLM deployments. Status: proposed-rule / pre-rulemaking (public comment stage).
