Implementing the President's "Department of Government Efficiency" Cost Efficiency Initiative

This EO directs each agency head to build a centralized technological system within the agency to record every payment by the agency with a brief written justification by the employee who approved it. The system shall also include a mechanism for the agency head to pause and rapidly review any payment that does not include a written justification. If possible, the written justifications should be posted publicly. Further, each agency head shall review (1) all existing contracts and grants and terminate or modify those that do not align with this administration’s policies within 30 days and (2) the agency’s contracting policies, procedures, and personnel within 30 days and shall not approve new contracting officer warrants during this time unless deemed necessary. Following this review, agency heads shall issue guidance on signing or modifying contracts and the DOGE Team Lead will write a monthly report on this. Also, a written justification will be required for non-essential travel. As possible, all agency employee credit cards shall be treated as frozen for 30 days, except for those used for disaster relief, natural disaster response, or critical services. Lastly, agencies shall (1) confirm submitted updates regarding real property (7 days), (2) identify all termination rights under current leases (30 days), and (3) submit a plan to OMB for disposition of real-property that is no longer needed (60 days). This order does not apply to the following: law enforcement officers, USCBP and ICE, Uniformed Services, any other grant, contract, component, or real property deemed exempt, and classified information/systems.
