The newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is leading a massive federal spending overhaul, aiming to cut $2 trillion by July 4, 2026. This initiative is already leading to contract terminations, attempting to defund agencies like the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Department of Education, and scrutinized other major departments such as the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency.

What does this mean for government contractors?

  • Increased contract reviews and terminations – Even long-standing contracts are being reevaluated, and agencies are seeking ways to trim budgets.
  • More competition for fewer dollars – As spending consolidates, contractors must differentiate themselves to win remaining opportunities.
  • Regulatory shifts – DOGE is expected to introduce efficiency mandates, affecting compliance requirements and contract structuring.

How to “DOGE-Proof” Your Business

Despite the uncertainty of exactly how things will change, business owners can take steps to protect their business from federal budget cuts and contract delays.

  1. Expand Your Pipeline Now – Diversify beyond federal contracts by exploring state, local, and private sector opportunities.
  2. Target “Essential” Contracts – Prioritize projects that align with federal priorities, making them less vulnerable to cuts.
  3. Strengthen Your Competitive Edge – Ensure your proposals emphasize cost-efficiency and mission-critical capabilities.
  4. Stay Ahead of Policy Changes – Keep up with DOGE directives to adapt your strategy proactively.
