The Veterans Affairs Department is turning up the scrutiny for all of its information technology, professional services and any other new contracts valued at least at $10 million.
A new memo from Joseph Maletta, the acting principal executive director in the Office of Acquisition, Logistics and Construction and acting chief acquisition officer, establishes the requirement of approval from two U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Service representatives after the assigned senior advisor completed their review.
“No new contracts can be signed or modified unless and until Mr. [Christopher] Roussos or Mr. [Cary] Volpert have provided review and approval,” said the May 13 memo, which Federal News Network obtained.
