U.S. — The Pentagon entered into a blanket purchase agreement with Casepoint for AI-enabled software products, which will support classified legal operations and secure data workflows. The agreement is valued at up to $98.8 million.

Casepoint officials announced the agreement on Wednesday. Casepoint is the exclusive awardee of the Pentagon's blanket purchase agreement. The company will provide eDiscovery software as a service, support services, and training to the Department of Defense (DOD) Office of General Counsel, the Defense Information Systems Agency Office of General Counsel, and the Defense Legal Services Agency.

Casepoint will also provide services to 28 separate Defense Legal Services Agency Office of General Counsel offices tasked with supporting multiple missions. Casepoint responded to a market research request for information and a request for quotes from the Department of Defense before being selected for the contract. The Casepoint platform does not rely on generative AI models from other companies to operate.

Paul Colangelo, CEO of Casepoint, said that government agencies are facing challenges with increasing volumes of information and growing expectations around transparency, accountability, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance. He added that the company's AI governance is a framework of policies, controls, processes, and accountability ensuring the safe, responsible, secure, and effective use of AI within an organization.

Casepoint officials stated in a press release that the company is the only provider in the eDiscovery and Investigations industry to offer Impact Level 5 or Impact Level 6 authorization. Impact Level 5 encompasses the highest authorization level for environments storing and processing controlled unclassified information. Impact Level 6 is a compliance standard required to process classified data for cloud-based defense workloads. Five federal civilian agencies and the Air Force have adopted Casepoint's platform to support legal operations within the last six months. An unidentified Department of Defense user reported a 50-75% reduction in time spent on manual document review using Casepoint's AI-powered platform. The user also stated that every action was logged and every decision was auditable.
