Contractors face greater scrutiny from anti-DEI executive orders
January 26, 2025By Nick Wakeman
With the DOGE and Trump talking about a more modern and efficient government, contractors are offering suggestions and advice on changes they want to see.
For government contractors, the executive orders and proclamations grabbing the headlines on the first day of President Trump’s second term will have little impact on how contractors do business.
The most impactful actions for contractors will be executive orders and recissions of Biden orders designed to modernize how the government operates and what is expected from contractors.
Since Trump’s election to a second term, the contractor community has been looking for ways to have an influence on the changes the Trump administration and the Department of Government Efficiency will push.
L3Harris Technologies CEO Chris Kubasik wrote an open letter to Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, the DOGE leaders, with advice on how to improve the defense market.
His letter lays out four policy recommendations dealing with accounting standards, centralized procurement, and limiting the ability of companies to protest.
Likewise, Accenture Federal Services released a paper, A Federal Leader’s Guide to Reinvention, describing a variety of imperatives the company is recommending. While not addressed directly to the Trump administration, the principles around innovation, talent, and streamlining operations line up with many of the DOGE principles.
