Euna Solutions launched its AI-powered Solicitation Advisor on April 29, 2026, to review local government RFP drafts before publication. The tool flags ambiguity, conflicting criteria, and evaluation-information mismatches. According to Euna’s 2025 State of Public Procurement report, 62% of agencies receive only two to five bids per RFP; the average RFP takes nearly 90 hours to develop (per 2024 NCPP data). A Gallup poll found 21% of public sector workers use AI multiple times weekly. Dallas integrated AI into procurement in 2025, and industry leaders like Skanska and Turner are applying AI to safety and workflow optimization.
According to Construction Dive, Euna Solutions launched its Solicitation Advisor feature on April 29, 2026, as part of its Euna Procurement platform. The tool uses artificial intelligence to review draft requests for proposals (RFPs) issued by local governments before they are published, identifying ambiguity, conflicting criteria, and mismatches between evaluation rubrics and requested supplier information.
Performance Gaps in Public Sector Procurement
The initiative responds to documented inefficiencies: according to Euna Solutions’ 2025 State of Public Procurement report, 62% of public agencies receive only two to five bids per RFP on average. This low bid volume constrains competition and increases procurement risk. Further, the company cites 2024 National Cooperative Procurement Partners data showing that the average RFP project consumes nearly 90 hours of staff time — yet yields suboptimal market response. A Gallup poll cited in the article found that 21% of public sector employees use AI multiple times per week, with efficiency gains identified as the primary objective in a separate Euna Solutions survey conducted earlier in 2026.
Operational Impact and Workflow Integration
Euna’s Solicitation Advisor marks a strategic pivot from prior AI applications focused on accelerating RFP drafting. As Mykola Konrad, Chief Product Officer at Euna Solutions, stated:
“Every addendum adds time and administrative burden to the sourcing process. When teams catch issues at the draft stage instead of after publication, they have a better chance to reduce delays, improve supplier understanding, and run a more competitive [solicitation] event.”
The tool embeds category-aware insights directly into procurement workflows, enabling real-time guidance during solicitation development rather than reactive correction post-release.
Broader Industry Context and Adoption Signals
This deployment aligns with accelerating AI integration across municipal operations. Dallas, for example, incorporated AI into its procurement process in 2025. Parallel developments include Skanska, Turner, and Balfour Beatty deploying AI for safety training and situational analysis on roadwork jobsites — as reported in Construction Dive on May 6, 2026. Meanwhile, the Construction Industry Round Table (CIRT), under new president Corey Clayborne, has prioritized workforce development and technology policy, including AI governance, as central agenda items since April 2026. These moves reflect growing practitioner recognition that procurement quality — not just speed — is foundational to supply chain resilience in public infrastructure delivery.
