The FOIA NexGen Tech Showcase will be virtual May 12–14, 2026. This showcase will highlight for federal FOIA professionals and agency technology staff innovative technology that can help federal agencies improve FOIA processing, including tools for:
- FOIA case management
- AI-supported case processing and redaction

Following the success of NexGen FOIA Tech Showcases in 2022 and 2024, this year’s event will again spotlight emerging technologies—especially AI-enabled tools—that can help agencies streamline FOIA workflows and improve transparency.
The showcase helps fulfill Recommendation 2024-12 from the 2022-2024 term of the FOIA Advisory Committee that the CFO Technology Committee and interested agency publish RFIs on the subject of AI tools and techniques as an aid to FOIA processing.
Interested vendors should submit a 3–5 page description of the technology tool to be considered for participation. The submission deadline is March 27, 2026 (11:59 PM ET) and responses should be sent to: CFO-Council@nara.gov with the subject line: RFI Response: NexGen FOIA Tech Showcase 3.0
