Steve McKim, Founder & CEO of Heaviside AI, LLC, a small business, supports the proposed GSAR clause regarding data safeguarding in LLMs. He argues that the core architectural requirements are commercially feasible and suggests strengthening the language to prefer machine-verifiable evidence of deletion and implementation over mere written attestations.

Ghost Mesh Inc. supports the proposed clause but argues that it lacks a verification mechanism for contractor attestation. They recommend requiring tamper-evident, independently verifiable records and "keep-local" inference to ensure compliance with data safeguarding and model integrity requirements.

The Language Research Institute (LRI), a research institution, strongly supports the proposed GSAR clause 552.239-7001 but argues that it relies too heavily on contractor self-attestation rather than architectural enforcement. They propose specific technical amendments to include multi-agent pipelines in the scope, establish structural behavioral baselines, and adopt a tiered oversight framework that prioritizes autonomous substrate-level governance for routine operations.
