Elon Musk's US Department of Government Efficiency announced the cancellation of a $3.5 million consulting contract for the Department of Veterans Affairs, originally awarded to Duty First Consulting, a service-disabled veteran-owned business. The VA has decided to handle the enterprise mail management internally instead. The announcement highlighted a total of 247 contract cancellations, which are projected to save nearly $390 million. The post has sparked discussions about the implications of shifting work from veteran-owned firms to in-house services.
"247 cancellations of wasteful contracts today, with a ceiling value of ~$999M and savings of ~$390M, including a $3.5M Dept. of VA consulting contract..."
"The Department of Veterans Affairs had ended a $3.5 million contract for 'enterprise mail management program support services,' now set to do the work in-house."
