The Department of Government Efficiency is at it again.
Better known as DOGE, the Department oversaw the termination of 54 contracts by some federal government agencies, acquiring $804 million in savings, according to a story by The Epoch Times. The story was also reported on a July 5th X post.
The canceled “wasteful contracts” had a ceiling value of $1.8 billion, it said. These include an “$842k USAID professional services contract for a ‘director of the Armenia innovation hub within the USAID/Armenia Economic Growth Office’ and a $33k USAGM contract for ‘24/7 FM broadcast services to the Togolese Republic.’”
The DOGE announcement came some days after Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on July 1 the closure of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). He said that the foreign assistance given by the agency did not have good results for Americans.
According to Rubio, USAID was part of a “globe-spanning NGO industrial complex” funded by U.S. taxpayers, using the abbreviation of “nongovernmental organization.”
During a July 6 post on X, DOGE praised the Office of Personnel Management for having cut its annual spending on federal contracts by 50 percent while “improving both the quality and scope of its services.”
The agency saved $5.9 million through restructuring the IT helpdesk while also instituting efficiency measures. “As a result, the average ticket backlog dropped by 30 percent,” DOGE said.
The Times reported that according to a June 29 update by DOGE, the program has so far saved $190 billion in taxpayer funds through processes such as contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment deletion, cancellation of grants, and asset sales.
This is the equivalent of $1,180 saved per American taxpayer.
