As the Trump Administration’s agenda continues to roll out, the DOGE and agencies have been busy assessing contracts that are at odds with various executive orders, resulting in targeted contract cancellations.

The attached dataset provides insight into terminated contracts (legal cancellations, terminated for cause, terminated for default and terminated for convenience) between January 20, 2025 and July 10, 2025. 

Note: This data reflects contracts formally terminated and reported in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS). DOGE.gov notes that there may be a one-month lag between its "Wall of Receipts" and FPDS, so the data will vary.
 

NEW: The data set now includes an "Initiative" column in which agencies are required to report termination and cancellation actions taken in response to the administration's efficiency initiatives as "EO: Radical Transparency About Wasteful Spending". Please note that this reporting is inconsistent, but is included for reference.

Actions reported under this initiative classification are not limited to terminated contracts, therefore a new "Modification Category" column provides identification of terminations as well as the other "Reasons for Modification" reported.

The four termination modification categories (Legal Cancellation, Terminated for Cause, Terminated for Convenience and Termination for Default) are reported as "Terminated". All other modification types are reported as "Other EOI Action".
