How the U.S. Government is Buying Now: Opportunities and Key Considerations for Technology Companies

This has been a dynamic time for companies that contract with the U.S. Government, or may be considering it.

Since President Trump took office, the administration has issued a series of executive orders and other directives calling for major changes in the way the U.S. Government purchases goods and services, with a focus on streamlining buying to enhance agility, effectiveness, and efficiency. While these measures apply broadly, the administration has made clear that the U.S. Government seeks to entice “new entrants” into the federal marketplace—such as through deregulation as well as prioritizing commercial and nontraditional contracting. For new entrants and longstanding contractors alike, these changes are challenging to navigate, but may present new opportunities.

During our program, we will walk through recent developments, this administration’s procurement priorities, and how to consider various risk areas when assessing opportunities to contract with the U.S. Government.
