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.
Andréa Leichtman, OS AI VP of Research, shares below a series of department level reports detailing Terminated Contracts (full or partial) for 5415* 54161* 518210 NAICS codes (See the ‘About the Data’ tab for the specifics on each spreadsheet) for these 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 may specify full vs partial termination when they post so review specific tasks for the latest update. Have Requests? Contact Andréa at andrea.leichtman@orangeslices.ai

I heard this morning from an HHS partner that the agency decided not to exercise their option year. While it’s not technically a termination, it has the same effect.
508 and risk management are the new emerging cross-agency phrases
Using AI, did a crude key word trend analysis on the list that showed “support” having highest (44) hits followed by health (13), communication (12), Management (11) and so on.
For those tracking CMS, still seems the DOGE cancellations and trackers only show a handful of CMS-specific terminations formally which seems to mean they haven’t included some others that were terminated at CMS or the other shoe hasn’t dropped yet. Thoughts?
In OIT we have heard of unofficial RIF notices in BIOS with most expected in June
The VA hasn’t even finished their revision of the RIF procedures yet
Has anyone working for the VA received a RIF notice yet?
Not 100%, but sharing this list of HHS RFI actions based on employee reports.
