This focus on government efficiency provides an important opportunity for a holistic review of the procurement system.
On Monday, the new administration begins with a focus on operational reform as represented by the Department of Government Efficiency (the DOGE). Importantly, the DOGE has already begun its efforts to review government operations and identify measures, actions and reforms that will increase operational efficiency, reduce costs and deliver improved government services.
This focus on government efficiency provides an important opportunity for a holistic review of the procurement system. Last week’s FAR & Beyond identified procurement reform as one of five procurement themes that will shape the federal acquisition marketplace in 2025 and beyond. In response, the Coalition is launching the Government Procurement Efficiency List (GPEL) for the new federal market. The GPEL is a list of recommendations to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the procurement system. We are seeking your recommendations, thoughts and analysis to include in the GPEL. Once we have collected and organized the recommendations, the Coalition will share the GPEL with stakeholders across the government procurement system.
