Hazel

Hazel is a public procurement platform for government agencies. It covers the procurement lifecycle from requisition to contract signature, with AI applied to the slow, document heavy parts of the work while procurement officers keep authority over every decision. The vendor's stated rule is that no requisition is auto approved, no proposal auto scored and no contract issued automatically; the AI drafts, flags and organizes, and humans approve, score and make the final selection. It is built for local, state and federal agencies, including cities, counties and school districts. The platform has seven modules: Requisition Management, Scope Review, Solicitation Builder, Vendor Directory, Evaluations, Spend Visibility and Sourcing Method Selection. Solicitation Builder drafts complete, compliant solicitations from an agency's own templates, and can construct templates from historical solicitation data where none exist. Boilerplate and legal clauses are centrally managed and not editable in the platform, so legal review can concentrate on the requirements themselves. Every action, including every question put to the AI, is timestamped, attributed to a user and kept in an immutable, exportable log. Nothing entered into Hazel trains a model, agency data is not shared between departments, and the platform holds SOC 2 Type II certification. Pricing is not published. Hazel describes flat pricing for partner agencies that scales with the agency's size and procurement complexity, and says it does not publish prices because a school district and a state transport department should not pay the same. Most customers start with a scoped pilot on one product. Deployment includes template and policy onboarding, workspace configuration, training and a named point of contact, implementation typically takes one to two weeks, and security documentation and support for the agency's review process are provided at no additional cost.
