WHAT IS SEQUESTRATION?
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

WHAT IS SEQUESTRATION?• Budget Control Act of 2011 – signed 2 Aug 2011
• Increased debt ceiling to $2.1T
• Automatic reduction of spending triggered
• If Congress approves budget higher than the caps depicted by the law
![Page 5: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
WHAT IS SEQUESTRATION?
• Exemptions -- most mandatory programs -- Medicaid, Social Security, federal retirement programs, Veteran’s Programs
• Funding supporting Overseas Contingency Ops• Reduction of spending by $2.1T – 2013 – 2021• Effective 2 January 2013
![Page 6: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
WHAT IS SEQUESTRATION?• Automatic triggers can be avoided
• Budget approved under thresholds
• President’s budget for 2013 avoids trigger
• House 2013 Authorization bill $8B > 2011 Law
EITHER WAY – MAJOR IMPACT
![Page 7: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
• Unsustainable growth in federal debt and deficit
• Federal budget in deficit since FY 02; spiked in FY 09
• Exceeded $1 Trillion in FY 09; >$1 T thru FY 11
![Page 8: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
HOW DID WE GET HERE? • Growth in deficit attributed to:
– Spending highest as share of GDP since FY 45
–Revenues lowest as share of GDP since FY 50
–Budgetary effects of recent recession
–Policies implemented in response
– Increased outlays and tax cuts
![Page 9: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
• BCA reduces spending via two principal approaches:
– Statutory spending caps FY 12 thru FY 21 – Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction
![Page 10: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
HOW DID WE GET HERE? • Caps limit spending through next 10 years–changes
in limits allowed/considered for:– Changes in concepts/definitions– Emergency requirements– Overseas Contingency Ops/Global War on Terror– Continuing disability reviews & redeterminations– Disaster relief
• The caps not specific amounts or even on each bill Broad caps on total discretionary spending by year
![Page 11: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
HOW DID WE GET HERE? • ‘Super’ Committee comprised of equal number of
Senators and Representatives – 12 (6 Dems/6 Reps)• ‘Super’ Committee charged to come up with plan
• 21 Nov 2011 – failed to agree to a plan
• SEQUESTRATION process triggered
![Page 12: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
WHAT IS THE LIKELY IMPACT?• Two potential impacts --
– Impact to Government spending
– Impact to Government contracting
![Page 13: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
WHAT IS THE LIKELY IMPACT?Government Spending
• Automatic new levels of Budget authority will be set thus
restraining outlays (discretionary)
• Levels set to FY11 Budget Authorization as a baseline and
adjusted for inflation
• Requirements for non critical programs on contract will drop
– Prioritization for dollars available
• Reduced budget will impact critical programs
![Page 14: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
WHAT IS THE LIKELY IMPACT?Government Contracting
• New Contracts
• Existing Contracts
• Claims
• Protests
![Page 15: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
WHAT IS THE LIKELY IMPACT?Government Contracting – New Contracts
• Decrease in number of new contracts awarded• Agencies will be vying/prioritizing for available
dollars– Cyber defense– Intelligence– Surveillance– Reconnaissance– Space
• Emphasis on proven, deployable, commercial
![Page 16: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
WHAT IS THE LIKELY IMPACT?Government Contracting – New Contracts
• Influence types of contracts to be issued– Move to minimizing cost risk on USG – USECDEF A,T&L Ashton Carter Memo Nov 2010– More emphasis on Fixed Price instruments– Use of IDIQ vehicles–allows negotiations at TO
level– Potential increase of importance LPTA v best
value
![Page 17: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
WHAT IS THE LIKELY IMPACT?Government Contracting - Existing Contracts
• Limited funding = reduction of products/services
• Potential de-scope of contracts
• Change in breadth, depth, capability, quantities
• Restructure of contract/program – stretch schedule
![Page 18: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
WHAT IS THE LIKELY IMPACT?Government Contracting - Existing Contracts
• Use of term contract vehicles for funding out years
• More scrutiny prior to exercise of contract options
• Partial terminations for convenience
• Full terminations for convenience
![Page 19: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
WHAT IS THE LIKELY IMPACT?Government Contracting - Claims
• Increased potential for filing of equitable adjustments• Contractors more vigilant relative to ‘scope creep’– Less funding – less work – Aggressive pursuit of existing claims
• USG may use litigation as a tool to recoup funds
• Rulings by BCA in favor of the Government
![Page 20: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
WHAT IS THE LIKELY IMPACT?Government Contracting - Protests
• Less dollars = fierce competition = more protests
• Incumbents seeking to continue working the contract
• Offerors that need the award to stay viable
![Page 21: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN?
DIFFICULT TO PREDICT EXACTLY• Election Year
• Debate entangled with macro economic policy
• Changes in taxes (extension of tax cuts)
• Economic recovery
![Page 22: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN?Things to Watch
• Continuing Resolution Authority–Mar 2013• WARN Act implications– Ktrs of over 100 personnel – must give 60 day
notice– Closing of work site – loss of 50– Mass layoff – loss of 500
![Page 23: IMPACT OF SEQUESTRATION -- 2013](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813afa550346895da387ca/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN?Things to Watch
• “Scope creep–manage effectively to avoid Disputes• Increased competitive market• Engage strategies of two-way communications– Leadership– Trade and Professional Associations
