Warning Trends
Public sector demand slumps as the government enters shutdown
- On October 1, the US federal government entered a shutdown after negotiations for a new appropriations bill failed.
- During a government shutdown, essential federal government operations, such as law enforcement, air-traffic control, and social security, persist, while nonessential operations are paused and workers involved in these operations are furloughed. Thus, the current shutdown is expected to result in 750,000 federal workers being furloughed, representing a $400 million reduction in daily expenditure by the federal government.
- This significant reduction in federal spending and operations will affect the entire US economy, weakening aggregate demand and slowing economic growth. For example, the 35-day government shutdown in Q1, 2019, reduced aggregate demand in both the public and private sectors, resulting in a 0.2% reduction in GDP growth that quarter.
- The effects of the shutdown are likely to be most acute in markets where the public sector is a major buyer segment, weakening demand and increasing average vendor risk by destabilizing important revenue streams.
- As negotiations for a new appropriations bill to reopen the government remain ongoing, ProcurementIQ will continue to monitor the situation and update this story with the latest information.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis
The average vendor risk is moderate. Fluctuations in construction demand over the last three years have introduced volatility to supplier revenue streams; however, suppliers operate at a moderate profit level, which helps offset overall risk volatility.
Buyers benefit from high market fragmentation. Environmental planning services exhibit a low market share concentration as no one supplier wields substantial pricing power, thereby helping to preserve market competition.
Supply chain risk is moderate. Volatility in upstream inputs have been offset partly by high market competition.
The United States is a net importer of measuring and detection equipment, meaning it imports more than it exports. A large foreign presence in the market indicates buyers have greater access to competitively priced goods from lower-cost countries but may be exposed to significant supply chain risks and poor trade relations with countries such as China.
