Acquisition Reform: Driving Business Opportunities during the Trump Administration

Changes to management priorities that come with every new administration also mean changes for those seeking to do business with the federal government. President Trump has also utilized his position and the government’s purchasing power to directly engage the private sector on spending and procurement issues. While many of these changes present opportunities, there are also risks.


The Trump Administration and the new Congress are expected to begin working on a number of issues critical to government contractors. The panel will address several of these issues, including:


  • The President's Management Agenda
  • Budget caps, the end of the sequester, and the appropriations landscape
  • Potential provisions in the FY 2019 National Defense Authorization Act impacting the acquisition community

Panelists:

  • Rob Burton, Partner, Crowell & Moring
  • Brian McLaughlin, Founding Partner, Imperium Global Advisors
  • Jordon Sims, Founding Partner, Imperium Global Advisors

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
