In order to align with Trump priorities, the Defense Department wants written justifications for why each consulting contract should not be cancelled.
The Defense Department has kicked off a review process to look at consulting contracts and determine if they are essential and support the priorities of the Trump administration.
The memo is from Steven J. Morani, who the signature block indicates is “Performing the Duties of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment.”
Morani is an Air Force veteran and most recently was the deputy director of logistics, civil engineering and force protection with the Air Force Materiel Command.
The memo asks senior Pentagon leaders, defense agency leaders and field activity directors to identify consulting contracts to be canceled or descoped.
DOD is taking a phased approach and will begin with orders placed against General Services Administration-managed contracts for consulting services. Phase two will look at non-GSA consulting contracts.
