GSA memo asks agencies to review consulting contracts

  • The General Services Administration (GSA) recently issued a memorandum asking government agencies to review their consulting contracts with the ten highest-paid firms. The ten firms are Accenture PLC (Accenture Federal Services), Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., CGI Group Inc. (CGI Federal), Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (Deloitte Consulting), General Dynamics Corporation (General Dynamics IT), Guidehouse Inc., Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. (HII Mission Technologies), International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), Leidos Holdings, Inc., and Science Applications International Corporation, Inc. (SAIC).
  • The memo states that agencies are strongly encouraged to cut non-essential consulting contracts, providing a list of those intended to be terminated by March 7, 2025. By April 19, 2025, agencies must submit their reviews of non-GSA consulting service contracts.
  • According to the GSA, the ten consulting firms identified are set to receive $65.0 billion in fees in 2025. The Department of Defense (DoD) has stated its intention to terminate or descope contracts non-essential to the DoD’s purposes; some of the largest market players with high-value DoD contracts include Booz Allen Hamilton, Deloitte, and Accenture.
  • According to the Government Accountability Office, in the fiscal year 2023, government agencies spent $478.0 billion on services, with the DoD accounting for $230.0 billion and non-defense agencies accounting for the rest. The DoD spent $21.3 billion on support, professional, and engineering and technical services, while non-defense agencies spent $21.4 billion on professional services, which includes consulting, training, and support services.
  • The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) initially cancelled 875 contracts (amounting to around $2.0 billion) but has currently paused efforts. However, contract terminations across most agencies are expected to continue.

Positive Trends


The DOJ proposes Google breakup in latest tech antitrust action

  • In August, Google was found guilty of operating as a monopoly and engaging in anti-competitive practices through the operation of its search engine business.
  • In response to this ruling the Department of Justice (DOJ) has stated it will seek a breakup of Google’s business segments, among other similarly harsh penalties. While the actual penalty Google receives must be approved by the judge, the DOJ’s proposed penalties signal a zero-tolerance policy toward tech monopolies.
  • During the last few years, the Federal government has significantly increased its enforcement actions against major technology companies in an effort to contest the high level of market share concentration in this sector.
  • These actions include high-profile anti-trust lawsuits against Amazon, Apple, and Meta, in addition to the case against Google. Consequently, the results of these lawsuits could significantly affect the structure of a wide range of tech markets.

Implementation

Buyers will need to pay for costs related to the software implementation, such as testing, configuring, and integrating the system into the firm.

Billed During

Maintenance

Software maintenance will be a significant expense for buyers, often costing about 15.0% to 20.0% of the software’s purchase price each year.

Upgrades

Software suppliers are constantly improving their products and rolling out new or updated modules and functionalities. Buyers of FSM software should prepare to pay hefty upgrade fees each year in order to utilize new features.

Support

The cost of support services will be an essential expense throughout the life of the software. Although buyers will rarely pay out of pocket for support costs, the costs or providing support will likely be incorporated into the software package itself, and may even be priced separately (e.g., a separate charge to facilitate access to real-time support).

Unforeseen

Downtime

FSM software is an essential resource for management teams. In the event of significant downtime, buyers may incur indirect costs stemming from the temporary inability to maintain customer loyalty retention practices.

Obsolescence

FSM software is prone to obsolescence and quickly becomes outdated. Buyers must prepare to replace outdated software in the event that the supplier forces a transition to a new product with more or higher-quality features.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis

There is a low level of market share concentration in the market for FSM software. With low barriers to entry, a large number of vendors are able to participate, thereby providing buyers with more negotiating power as suppliers compete heavily on the basis of price.

Moderate supply chain risk, high competition, and a moderate level of substitutes contribute to moderate vendor financial risk. Risk is moderate rather than high due to suppliers’ ability to offer customizable software packages, which increases the value of this market and ensures revenue for employers.

Supply chain risk is low as software providers do not depend on any critical material inputs to develop and distribute their software solutions. Low supply chain risk is good for buyers as they will not have to worry about supply chain disruptions that may cause large market price fluctuations.

The United States is a net importer of computers, meaning it imports more computers than it exports. While lower manufacturing costs abroad drive down prices for imported computers, relying on imports can lead to potential shortages or price increases if there are supply chain disruptions due to geopolitical tensions, trade disputes, or global crises.
