DOGE & Booz: Enough To Make One Drink

You think folks at gov’t contractor Booz Allen are downing shots at the nearest pub now that DOGE is coming after the 98% of its $11 billion in annual revenue? Other similarly exposed fed contractors too?

The WSJ somehow got its hands on a GSA memo calling for a review of “$65 BILLION in contracts that go to Booz Allen Hamilton & other big firms that do government work.” In DC-based Booz Allen’s case, it works on a seemingly endless web of projects that cuts across the US government. Per the newspaper: “It operates a website visitors use to reserve campsites at national parks. It is modernizing healthcare records for veterans, beefing up technology at the FBI and rolling out a suite of artificial-intelligence and cybersecurity tools across the Department of Defense and other federal agencies.”

Of course, these are probably needed work orders. Yet, the question to such contractors will always be in the DOGE mindset going forward, “Can you please list and justify [your] contracts?” Others besides Booz Allen getting the good news include fellow giants Accenture, Deloitte & IBM. Responses are due March 7. That’s a week from now. Cancel all vacas. Talk about pressure in these corporate suites.
