Trump administration asks agencies to cull consultants
Briefly

The Trump administration is undertaking a significant review of consulting contracts with ten major firms, including Gartner and IBM. In a memo by Stephen Ehikian, acting head of the General Services Administration (GSA), agencies have been instructed to reassess their existing contracts with these high-fee firms, which are projected to receive over $65 billion by 2025. This effort seeks to eliminate non-essential contracts, focusing on retaining only those providing critical technical support. Agencies are required to report their findings and decisions by March 7.
The acting head of GSA, Stephen Ehikian, urged procurement executives to reassess consulting contracts with 10 major firms, aimed at trimming non-essential spending.
Ehikian stressed that the expenditure on these top consulting firms is unsustainable, with projected fees exceeding $65 billion across 2025 and beyond.
