But among the 1,100-plus contracts purportedly canceled, POLITICO found:

  • Contracts that had not yet been awarded
  • Instances where a single pot of money is listed multiple times โ€” tripling or quadrupling the amount of savings claimed
  • Purchase agreements that have no record of being canceled, but were instead stripped of language related to diversity, equity and inclusion
  • Contract savings identified by DOGE that do not match with records they refer to in the Federal Procurement Data System
  • Contracts where the underlying document is for an entirely different contract
