Unlocking Opportunities: Clayton Feick on AI in Procurement, Sparks, and the Future

In this episode of The Big Bid Theory, host Bill Culhane welcomes you inside ICMA 2024 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Bill visits with Clayton Feick, CEO of Ontopical, to explore how AI is transforming government procurement.
Clayton shares his key takeaways from ICMA 2024, where he and Stephen Hetzel, CEO of Beacon Bid, delivered a joint presentation moderated by Bill. Their session, “Empowering Local Governments: Leveraging AI for Enhanced Government Contracting Processes,” sparked a lively discussion on how AI-powered tools help businesses discover government opportunities long before their competitors.
Clayton highlights how Ontopical’s AI-enabled government market intelligence software gives businesses an early advantage by uncovering key opportunities from cities, towns, and counties across the USA and Canada. He explains that many successful ventures start with a “spark”-a vital insight that leads to major opportunities down the road.
Bill also reminds listeners to submit nominations for the Dave and Beverly Nash Leadership Award, celebrating excellence in public procurement. The deadline for nominations has been extended to November 1st. Don't miss Rick Jennings' return with another fun segment of “Crazy Bids You Can Win!”
