E.O. - Ensuring Commercial, Cost-Effective Solutions In Federal Contracts
Cutting Waste in Federal Contracts
This Executive Order from April 2025 directs federal agencies to prioritize commercial, cost-effective solutions in contracting. It responds to longstanding issues of wasteful custom procurements by mandating reviews, approvals, and detailed justifications for any non-commercial purchases. While the order aims to increase efficiency and reduce taxpayer burdens, critics warn it may limit flexibility, hurt minority-owned businesses, and overlook unique mission needs. This policy enforces the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act and pushes agencies to adopt marketplace innovations while maintaining oversight from senior procurement officials and the Office of Management and Budget.
