In government contracting, there is always uncertainty when a new president takes office. As someone in the sector for many years, I have seen the patterns that come with these changes.
There is typically a small drop in overall business for contractors when a Democratic administration comes onboard. In addition, there’s usually a five to seven-month delay in some procurements due to on-boarding political appointees.
However, the Democratic control of Congress and the economic situation are speeding things up at a pace not seen with recent administration changeovers. And this could be a sign that opportunities will be moving quickly in 2021.
