An impactful set of statements recently from the new acting GSA Administrator about a focus on the 10 highest paid consulting firms who are set to receive over $65 billion in fees in 2025 and future years. This needs to, and must, change,” wrote Stephen Ehikian, acting GSA administrator, in the letter to agency senior procurement executives, which Federal News Network obtained. “By March 7, please provide us with a list of the contracts with these firms that your agency intends to terminate and those that it intends to maintain. For any contracts between these firms and your agency that will continue, please provide a signed statement from a senior official verifying that such contract is mission critical and provides substantive technical support.”

I expect this will carry over to the next 10 or more, and it will be very interesting to see how this ends up as a lot of their work is technically related but may not meet the definition fully of a technical solution. What DOGE does with the data they uncover will likely have a significant impact on the GovCon industry as we know it today.
