DOGE Finds VA Contract Paying $380K a Month for Minor Website Maintenance

Good work by @DeptVetAffairs

VA was previously paying ~$380,000/month for minor website modifications. That contract has not been renewed and the same work is now being executed by 1 internal VA software engineer spending ~10 hours/week.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to find outrageous abuse and waste of taxpayer money.

While digging through contracts for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), a previous contract was uncovered, exposing hundreds of thousands of dollars paid out PER MONTH to do minor routine website maintenance.

The contract was not renewed, and the work is now being done internally by a VA software engineer who is spending only 10 hours a week on maintenance.

Bringing the maintenance in-house will save the VA $4.5M+ annually.
