House DOGE caucus member Rep. Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, evaluates the work of the Department of Government Efficiency on ‘The Evening Edit.’
The General Services Administration is entering its second phase of reviewing government contracts with some top consulting firms.
A GSA employee tells FOX Business they have gone through the first round of companies saving a total of $33 billion, through terminations and restructuring of contracts to outcome-based deals, with industry-leading companies such as Deloitte, Booz Allen Hamilton, Accenture Federal Services, IBM and others. However, the supply-side agency is determined to recalibrate how the U.S. government buys goods and services.
“In addition to delivering immediate cost savings for the taxpayer, GSA is focused on transforming how the government buys, not targeting individual companies,” a GSA spokesperson said. “GSA has made progress building the framework with the first 10 firms and are quickly moving to the next tranches.”

GSA is taking a longer-term approach with this overhaul with the government by restructuring any of their future deals by making outcome-based contracts the “default” and “mandatory” structure for the future. They also want to cap indirect spending from these firms, provide industry-wide flat rates for services and work more directly with original equipment manufacturers to acquire goods and services straight from the source.
In response to the work that GSA is doing with some of these firms, advanced technology company Booz Allen shares its excitement about working with the agency.
“Booz Allen is proud to work with GSA to transform government procurement using advanced technology and help create massive savings for the American taxpayer,” Booz Allen CEO Horacio Rozanski said. “As committed partners, we are encouraged by the rapid progress GSA is making to deliver cost-effective solutions to decades-long challenges.”
