Federal Contracting Shift: Why ‘Commercially Available’ Could Be the New Norm

In April 2025, President Trump signed an executive order requiring U.S. federal agencies to prioritize commercially available products and services over custom-built solutions wherever possible.

The policy aims to cut costs and speed up delivery by relying more on proven commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology and hardware. For contractors, this means higher demand for integration skills, secure configuration, and the ability to blend COTS tech with agency- specific requirements.

Through Atlas⁰⁷ | Industries and Atlas⁰⁷ | Digital, we focus on sourcing standardised, secure components and digital systems that align with federal compliance standards — helping clients adopt practical, off-the-shelf solutions that deliver speed without sacrificing quality.
