Executive Order 14240

Eliminating Waste and Saving Taxpayer Dollars by Consolidating Procurement

It requires agency heads to submit consolidation proposals within 60 days, mandates GSA to develop a comprehensive procurement plan within 90 days, and immediately designates the GSA Administrator as executive agent for all government-wide IT acquisition contracts.

Who is ordered

Timeline

Immediate

  • GSA Administrator designated executive agent for government-wide IT acquisition contracts (within 30 days)
  • OMB Director must issue implementation memorandum for IT consolidation (within 14 days)

Near term (90d)

  • Agency heads must submit procurement consolidation proposals to GSA Administrator (within 60 days)
  • GSA Administrator must submit comprehensive domestic procurement plan to OMB Director (within 90 days)
  • GSA to begin rationalizing IT indefinite delivery contract vehicles

Long term

  • Potential restructuring of federal procurement landscape with GSA as centralized domestic procurement hub
  • Consolidation of common goods and services procurement across executive agencies
  • Elimination of duplicate contracts and redundancies

Risks & tensions

  • Implementation constrained by 'where permitted by law' and 'subject to availability of appropriations' clauses
  • Potential disruption to existing agency procurement relationships and contractor ecosystems
  • IT contract consolidation may create temporary service continuity risks; text explicitly allows deferral/decline of executive agent designation to ensure continuity
  • Centralization could reduce agency flexibility and mission-specific procurement responsiveness
  • Vague scope of 'common goods and services' leaves room for interagency dispute over what must consolidate
