DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION AND ACCESSIBILITY (DEIA) PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT SERVICESContract #70RSAT23FR0000139 awarded by DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY to THE MILLENNIUM GROUP INTERNATIONAL, LLC$7,500,000 Total Value–$2,100,000 Obligated spending$5,400,000 SavingsTake this contract for D.E.I. services for the Department of Homeland Security. DOGE says canceling it saved $5.4 million.To arrive at this figure, it started with the contract’s total potential value: around $7.5 million.Then it subtracted the amount that appears to have already been spent.At first glance, this seems straightforward …Figures are rounded.But such savings estimates can be too high, several experts said, for a few reasons.For one, the spending figure may undercount what the government has already spent, because the data in the federal contracting system can be several months out of date.The numbers shown above also don’t account for additional termination costs the government will have to pay to close these contracts, making them a “meaningless metric,” said Steven Schooner, a professor of government procurement law at George Washington University Law School.
