Government contractors say DOGE brings both opportunity and uncertainty to the industry: 'We are a little scared'
Briefly

As changes loom from the Department of Government Efficiency, government contractors express a mix of optimism and concern. Contractors believe that while federal workforce reductions could streamline processes and enhance opportunities for outsourcing, they also anticipate challenges like lower contract values and tighter deadlines. Despite the fear surrounding potential cuts, many in the industry, including experts and CEOs, maintain confidence in the stability of their roles, asserting that the demand for specialized services, especially in healthcare transportation, will remain consistent regardless of administrative shifts.
DOGE could help make federal contracting more efficient, though uncertainty remains. Government contractors feel secure, viewing the industry as stable despite looming changes.
We envision a lot more contracts coming out to outsource to government contractors, even if potential challenges like lower contract amounts or ambitious deadlines persist.
Without a doubt, we are a little scared. However, services are less likely to be interrupted, and past administrations haven't impacted demand for our services.
There's uncertainty in the contracting industry, as we're curious about where federal cuts will be directed, but we are optimistic about future opportunities.
