About $1.40M to Insignia Federal Group — task order 7 from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, where only the number says which one it is

1The number is the only handle

What the description carries is that this is the seventh task order and that the subject is artificial intelligence. What is being built, or for whom, is not written.

Where orders are placed in sequence under a framework, each carries a number. Seventh means at least six orders came before under the same framework. Without matching them, what the framework as a whole is doing cannot be seen. The number is the only handle for that matching.

2An agency on the quality of care is the buyer

The awarding office is the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality at the Department of Health and Human Services, responsible for research on the quality and safety of care. Of the 222 federal spending records this site holds as of 2026-09-01, 18 were awarded by that department, the most after the Department of Defense.

Health is a field where the sensitivity of the data and the weight of regulation stand out. Where AI is used, what is asked is less the height of performance than the consequence of an error and how readily it can be explained. Which agency is buying is a clue to what a procurement holds important.

3A period of 395 days

The period runs from 2019-09-09 to 2020-10-08, 395 days. Across the 222 federal spending records this site holds as of 2026-09-01 the median period is 2.00 years, with 78 records between one and two years, the largest group.

Beginning on 9 September and ending on 8 October puts both near the turn of the federal fiscal year at the end of September. A period of a little over a year reads as set to carry work across that boundary. Across the 207 Department of Defense contracts this site holds as of 2026-09-01 the median is 10.7 years, so the distribution differs entirely by whether the subject is manufacturing or services.
