Procurement Modernization: Modernized Government Procurement for Defense & Civic Tech

Schubert Consulting LLC

Government procurement relies on 1990s-era systems and manual processes. Acquisitions take 18+ months, cost 40% more than commercial equivalents, and deter innovative vendors.

The Challenge in Numbers

  • Average federal procurement: 18 months from need to award
  • 40% cost premium vs. commercial procurement
  • $6B/year in administrative procurement overhead
  • Only 12% of tech companies bid on government contracts
