The Department of Defense’s (“DoD”) Under Secretary for Acquisition and Sustainment issued a memorandum on June 23, 2025, that tightens oversight on DoD contracts for information technology consulting & management services (“ITC&MS”) and advisory & assistance services (“A&AS”).
What contracts are impacted?
The memorandum applies to unclassified, FAR-based contracts or task orders for ITC&MS or A&AS. ITC&MS are services provided by integrators or consultants that involve system information technology (“IT”) integration, implementation, or advice and that are valued at over $10 million. A&AS are services for consulting, advising, assisting, or any professional services for similar functions, and that are valued over $1 million. The memorandum expressly notes that requirements may not be split into multiple efforts to stay under the $10 million and $1 million thresholds. Additionally, the memorandum does not apply to already existing consulting and advisory contracts.
