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
Providers of legal counsel typically operate on a local or regional basis, which limits the scope of their operations and results in a highly fragmented market. This low level of concentration aids buyer power by increasing competition and limiting price growth.
Buyers typically face minimal risk when it comes to the financial health of service providers, as indicated by the level of profitability in the market. The low average vendor risk benefits buyers by ensuring the continuity of services.
Immigration law firms rely on technological inputs, such as computers and peripheral equipment, which allow for timely, accurate, and efficient processing of the paperwork required for visa petitions. Because law firms rely primarily on skilled labor rather than material inputs, the supply chain does not pose a significant threat to suppliers and buyers.
The regulatory environment for immigration law constantly undergoes changes that aim to tackle visa fraud and abuse. The existing regulations that suppliers must comply with have maintained the high price of legal services.
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.

Procurement Management KPIs for the Immigration Law Services Market
Managing vendor performance throughout the contract period is easier when tracking specific key performance indicators (KPIs). For example, buyers should monitor Customer Complaints and Customer Concentration. Buyers may experience better performance throughout their contracts if they establish service level agreements (SLAs) based on Compliance and other factors.
| KPI | Level of Importance (1-5) | Measurements | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer Complaints |
|
Number of Complaints Subject of Complaints |
The number of customer complaints can reveal where vendor performance needs improving. Buyers may file complaints if they are unhappy with the vendor and attorney's level of performance. Whether the vendor's employees are rude and disorganized or they simply do not possess the requisite legal expertise required for their specific case, buyers should thoroughly examine past complaints and ask employers how they have sought to resolve such issues. |
| Customer Concentration |
|
Revenue Per Customer (RPC) Total Revenue |
The customer concentration represents the amount of revenue associated with a single customer. It is recommended that the customer concentration remains at or below 10.0%. Vendors that have a customer concentration at or below 10.0% may not spend the requisite time and resources towards the needs of other clients, as they prioritize clients that generate the most revenue. Buyers should ensure that their selected vendor has the capacity and personnel to provide for incoming clients. |
