The new administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have been terminating federal contracts as part of efforts to make the government smaller and more efficient.
Tracking Terminations – Reports and Recent Actions
Andréa Leichtman, OS AI VP of Research, shares below a series of department level reports detailing Terminated Contracts (full or partial) for 5415* 54161* NAICS codes and related OASIS/SB tasks since January 20, 2025. These are shared here as a way for industry to better monitor and understands priorities and trends.

** Dates are when the report was produced. These reports will be updated regularly. DOD will be added once those terminated contracts begin being posted.
NOTE: This does NOT mean the contracts were cancelled or terminated in their entirety – many were just modified to address specific aspects of the contract/task. The government does not always specify full vs partial termination when they post.
