US Government Eyes Procurement Reforms Amid Fiscal Pressure and Oversight Gaps

With rising national debt and public scrutiny intensifying, the US government is exploring major reforms in procurement to reduce costs, increase transparency, and rein in contractor inefficiencies. Lawmakers are pushing forward legislation aimed at improving contract oversight, enforcing tighter delivery timelines, and curbing cost overruns—particularly in non-defence federal departments.

A 2025 GAO report found that nearly 35% of federal contracts experience delays or cost escalations, especially in areas like IT modernization, facility management, and emergency services. The Biden administration and key congressional committees are now focused on modernising acquisition procedures, simplifying compliance frameworks, and expanding access for smaller contractors through more inclusive frameworks.
