Help us find waste, fraud and abuse along with other suggestions to improve efficiency. DM’s are open!

Great work by @USOPM, which has cut its annual spend on federal contracts by 50%—from $484M to $242M—while improving both the quality and scope of its services. On January 20, 2025, OPM had 444 active contracts, and has since taken action on 191 contracts via terminations, descoping and non-renewals. Key savings highlights include: - $12M saved by internalizing retirement-related projects, culminating in the fully digital retire.opm.gov -$5.9M saved via restructuring the IT helpdesk and implementing efficiency measures. As a result, the average ticket backlog dropped by 30%. - $39M saved by restructuring two underutilized IT contracts

Unused phone lines! Of the 1048 @USOPM phone lines, 198 (19%) were either unused or duplicated. OPM cancelled these lines (took 1 hour), resulting in ~$100k/yr in savings. Since OPM is ~0.1% of the federal government, this suggests that ~$100M/yr is wasted on unused lines.
