is dissolving the Federal Consulting Group (FCG), where one government department charges another to broker consulting contracts.

As an example, FCG brokered a $75M contract to design website customer satisfaction surveys, and then attempted to award $830M

In a significant move this week, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced the dissolution of the Federal Consulting Group (FCG), an entity that facilitated consulting contracts between government departments for a fee. This decision comes amid growing scrutiny over the operational efficiency and financial practices of the FCG, which had garnered attention for its handling of large contracts.

Notably, the FCG was involved in brokering a controversial $75 million contract aimed at designing customer satisfaction surveys for government websites. Furthermore, plans to award an extensive $830 million contract raised eyebrows, prompting concerns about fiscal responsibility and the effectiveness of such large-scale expenditures. Critics have argued that the model of one government entity charging another for consulting services creates inefficiencies and lacks transparency.

The dissolution of the FCG signals a potential shift in how federal agencies manage consulting services and contracts, as the Interior Department seeks to streamline operations and enhance accountability in government spending. As agencies reassess their consulting strategies, this development could lead to significant changes in how federal projects are managed and funded moving forward.
