Federal Market Opinions: Federal Contracting 5 Years from Now </b>
<p>Where will federal contracting be in 5 Years? Your prediction is as good as mine. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say: "Pretty much where we are now, a few band aid-type procurement reforms with steady growth year-by-year." Henry Waxman will pontificate about contracting abuse, waste, and incompetence, and propose a few reforms. Some politicians will advocate a cutback in federal contracting. The Washington Post will report instances of contracting corruption. And pork barrel projects-remember Alaska's bridge to nowhere? -- will continue.
<p>Yet we will march on: Federal spending on outside contractors will move from over $400 billion to $500 billion (give or take $50 billion), then in several years the magic $1 trillion number, if hidden contracts not counted in annual totals haven't caused the number to exceed $ 1 trillion already. Come and join us, federal contract dollars are spent more freely than commercial dollars.
