The memo from the Department of Defense has initiated the termination of 11 contracts related to consulting services, particularly those involved in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), climate, and COVID-19 response. Experts predict a wider trend, similar to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), focusing on eliminating unnecessary tasks while leveraging AI and internal capabilities to enhance operational efficiency and cut costs. The approach signifies a move towards a streamlined, cost-effective structure within government operations, especially in IT expenditure.
The memo ordered the termination of 11 more contracts for consulting services supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), climate, and COVID-19 response.
Pareekh Jain, CEO at EIIRTrend, speculated that the Defense Department will cancel multiple IT services and software contracts while using AI to optimize costs.
