description: >-
  The Chief Acquisition Officers Council publishes no plans and no pricing. It is a statutory
  interagency forum of the U.S. federal government, not a vendor: it sells nothing, meters
  nothing, and operates no API to attach a plan to. Its output — the charter, membership,
  working-group products and acquisition guidance — is published without charge or
  registration through Acquisition.GOV. This is an honest zero, not a gap.

  Supersedes a bulk-sweep scaffold dated 2026-05-04 that asserted Free / Professional /
  Enterprise tiers with invented quotas (1,000 and 100,000 requests per month) and TBD
  prices. No such tiers exist and none were ever published by the Council; the scaffold was
  a generated placeholder, and it is replaced here by a measured absence. Probes run
