Unison Activates Its Virtual Acquisition Office (VAO) With Agentic AI
VAO has long served as the trusted SaaS platform for the development of the federal acquisition workforce, delivering expert-created content and training. With agentic AI now at the center of the VAO experience, that expertise becomes actionable, generating acquisition documents, identifying relevant policy, and completing complex tasks with greater accuracy and less manual effort.
With no AI expertise required, VAO users can quickly utilize agentic AI capabilities to shift focus to the mission and spend less time drafting. Available as a new offering to subscribers, VAO's agentic AI is designed to work seamlessly alongside its existing tools and content to:
Generate compliant documents: Create Statements of Objectives (SOOs), Statements of Work (SOWs), Limited Source Justifications, and many more acquisition lifecycle documentation.
Get the right policy guidance at the right time: Policies are suggested based on your role, your agency, and the document you're working on.
Let templates do more of the work: Work directly within context-aware templates that apply agency rules and standards automatically.
Stay ahead of the process: Get proactive guidance on what's required next, so you're not waiting for checklists or chasing approvals.
"This step moves Unison's VAO from a trusted reference to a dynamic part of the acquisition lifecycle," said Reid Jackson, CEO of Unison. "It's the difference between reading acquisition guidance and watching that guidance take shape in real time."
A recent Federal News Network article highlighted the growing demand for AI that does more than automate routine steps. As the article notes, agentic AI offers a viable path toward reducing workload by completing acquisition tasks and helping agencies meet growing demands with limited staff.
Last year, Unison introduced its generative AI tool, Ally, within VAO. Since then, Ally has been used by more than 72 federal agencies, answering over 60,000 questions. These new agentic AI capabilities build on that momentum, expanding the impact of Unison's AI across the federal government.

Knee Replacement Surgery Market worth $16.17 billion in 2030 with 6.1% CAGR
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The global Knee Replacement Surgery Market, valued at US$10.86 billion in 2023 stood at US$12.00 billion in 2025 and is projected to advance at a resilient CAGR of 6.1% from 2025 to 2030, culminating in a forecasted valuation of US$16.17 billion by the end of the period. The key factor propelling the market is the increasing prevalence of osteoarthritis, particularly among the aging population. This increase in cases is driving a higher demand for surgical interventions, including total and partial knee replacements. As life expectancy increases and age-associated degenerative changes to the knee joint become more pronounced, the necessity for these procedures is escalating. This demographic shift is a significant catalyst for market expansion, contributing to a growing global patient population requiring knee treatment solutions. Download PDF Brochure: Browse in-depth TOC on "Knee Replacement Surgery Market" 300 - Tables55 - Figures400 - Pages By product, the global knee replacement surgery market is segmented into knee implants, knee braces & support systems, and orthobiologics. The orthobiologics segment is expected to register significant growth over the forecast period. A growing number of patients are opting for non-surgical interventions to manage their conditions. Orthobiologics, such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, stem cell treatments, and hyaluronic acid injections, provide less invasive alternatives that enhance healing and stimulate tissue regeneration. These modalities are particularly beneficial for patients with early to moderate osteoarthritis, where conventional surgical interventions may be premature or unnecessary. By application, the global knee replacement surgery market is segmented into osteoarthritis & rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative disease, cancer, and other applications. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that approximately 319,000 individuals aged 65 and older are hospitalized annually in the United States due to hip fractures. Surgical intervention typically involves the use of fixation devices that stabilize the fractured bone by immobilizing it, thereby providing a protective framework that facilitates healing. The incorporation of orthobiologics into orthopedic procedures is gaining traction, as these biological agents enhance the regenerative capacity of tissues and promote faster recovery. With the increasing prevalence of conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, coupled with a growing geriatric population, there is a projected surge in the adoption of knee surgery devices to address these joint pathologies effectively. By end user, the end user segment of the knee replacement surgery market includes hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and orthopedic clinics. In 2024, hospitals accounted for the largest market share. Recent advancements in surgical technologies, anesthesia techniques, and shifts in Medicare reimbursement policies have driven an escalation in orthopedic procedures within outpatient environments, particularly ambulatory surgery centers. These developments are poised to significantly enhance the expansion of the ASC market. Consequently, we can anticipate a marked increase in the volume of knee arthroplasties conducted in these settings, thereby further propelling the growth of the ASC segment in the near future.
