The Trump administration has taken steps to reduce federal spending on consultants, with Deloitte being a significant target of this initiative. Business Insider has reviewed the records of the Department of General Expenses (DOGE) to determine the number of contracts that have been adjusted. Deloitte has experienced the most impact, having at least 127 contracts either cut or modified, which is roughly twice as many as the firm following closely behind. The administration is scrutinizing ten major consulting firms, with Deloitte facing the most scrutiny. The cuts to Deloitte's government contracts are projected to save taxpayers approximately $371.8 million. This includes significant savings from contracts such as IT services for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and training on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. Deloitte's federal agency contracts amount to $3.3 billion annually, nearly 10% of the firm's recent yearly revenues. Booz Allen Hamilton is the second most impacted firm on the list with 61 contracts cut. Accenture has also seen around 30 contracts cut, resulting in savings of $240.2 million according to DOGE's data. The General Services Administration is spearheading the reevaluation of federal consulting spending, with consulting contracts with the top ten firms forecasted to generate over $65 billion in fees in 2025 and beyond. The GSA has requested these firms to submit a detailed scorecard outlining their pricing and proposing areas where they can cut costs.
