Government Contracting

Contract management and procurement leaders are planning for the future by identifying where to make investments and improvements in strategy. Many pointed to making these adjustments as critical before the arrival of COVID-19, but with contracts already changing to align with new government missions and priorities due to the pandemic, evaluating exactly how each business area can be more effective has moved up the priority list. Discover how firms intend to invest in contract management and procurement, and how they are measuring success.

Manufacturing leaders are wrestling with quality control in a variety of ways. Talent shortages, compliance needs and data cued up struggles even before COVID-19, which have compounded as manufacturers retool to address safety demands. Discover how they are benchmarking performance through it all and working to improve output into 2021.

Manufacturing does not have to be the primary source of profit for government contractors, but if it’s not managed with the three pillars of success in mind, it could invite increased scrutiny from contracting agencies. Learn what it means to “get it right” in the areas of engineering services or discrete manufacturing through the tenets of quality, traceability and efficiency.

The Deltek Clarity Government Contracting Industry Study expanded its coverage in 2019 with the addition of both procurement and manufacturing results, trends and challenges. Findings in each business areas reinforce the bullish market sentiments found throughout the Study, including more contract dollars and manufacturing orders and output than in previous years.
