In this episode of FedBiz'5, Bobby Testa breaks down Executive Order 14240—"Eliminating Waste and Saving Taxpayer Dollars by Consolidating Government Procurement"—and why it’s shaking up the entire landscape of federal contracting.
If you’re a current or aspiring government contractor, this EO isn’t background noise—it’s your new playbook.
Uncle Sam is cleaning house. The goal? Streamline procurement, eliminate duplication, and centralize control under the General Services Administration (GSA). Agencies are being asked to submit lists of their most commonly purchased goods and services—and GSA will take it from there. That means fewer contract vehicles, more centralized buying, and a big shift in how agencies shop for solutions.
This isn’t a budget cut. It’s a procurement evolution.
And the biggest shake-up? IT. The GSA is taking a stronger lead on tech procurement, from SaaS to cybersecurity. Programs like SEWP and CIO-SP are now under a microscope. If you’re in tech and not already tied into GSA contracts, it’s time to get moving.
Bobby’s five-step FedBiz'5 Survival Guide outlines exactly how to prepare:
- Audit Your Contracts: Know which vehicles are vulnerable to consolidation.
- Get GSA Ready: If you’re not on a GSA Schedule, now’s the time.
- Refocus Your Capability Statement: Emphasize cost-effectiveness and performance, not just qualifications.
- Engage Early: Don’t wait for the RFP—respond to RFIs and attend Industry Days.
- Team Strategically: Partnering with a GSA-savvy prime could be your fast track forward.
EO 14240 is not the end of opportunity—it’s a redefinition of it. Contractors who move quickly and align with GSA’s centralized priorities can come out ahead. The ones who wait? They risk becoming invisible.
The bottom line: Adaptability wins. Visibility is key. And staying passive is not an option.
🎧 Tune in now to hear Bobby’s straight-shooting take on what this means for your business, plus practical advice to get ahead of the curve.
