Over the past seven days, various government agencies have terminated 312 “wasteful contracts” with a ceiling value of $2.8 billion, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said in a June 26 post on social media platform X.
The cancellation saves $470 million for the taxpayers, it said. Canceled contracts include a $286,000 Department of Defense “professional and management development contract for an ‘entrepreneurship course at Harvard University’” and a $485,000 “USAID contract for a ‘senior general development advisor at USAID Madagascar.’”
