The Trump Administration's mantra to 'flood the zone' has fundamentally altered the landscape for federal contractors. The government is now refusing to pay for completed work, a serious deviation from core government contract norms, which could impact contractors' financial stability. Additionally, the use of 'termination for convenience' clauses has exponentially increased without adequate mission or cost analysis. GSA's demands for contractors to justify their value and pricing concessions raise questions about its authority and process, as contract management traditionally resides with the respective procuring agencies rather than GSA.
"For the first time in memory, the U.S. government is refusing to pay contractors for work already completed, raising serious questions about access to credit and financial risks."
"The breadth of 'termination for convenience' clauses has rapidly expanded, used with little or no mission or cost analyses, based rather on data scrubs that may not accurately reflect work done."
