Around 90% of NGO federal contracts are noncompetitive, totaling $1.2B annually.

Sharing is Caring!

As of this fiscal year, an astounding 21% of all federal contracts—amounting to $33.1 billion—are awarded noncompetitively. Among them, NGOs, or non-governmental organizations, receive around $1.2 billion annually, with 90% of these contracts awarded without open competition. NGOs, many argue, are effectively acting as government extensions, often supporting policies that some believe are fueling illegal immigration at taxpayers’ expense.

Citizen journalists like Ben Bergaum have reported for years on NGOs’ involvement in immigration, suggesting that federal funds enable these groups to operate freely in supporting undocumented migrants, raising concerns about transparency and accountability. With a national deficit of $2 trillion and national debt exceeding $36 trillion, the question lingers: Should NGOs receive billions in government contracts, especially when they bypass competitive bidding?

The fiscal strain is real, yet these contracts continue largely unchecked. This has prompted many to call for greater oversight on how taxpayer funds are allocated, especially with mounting federal debts and deficits. For many Americans, reducing spending on NGOs and closing loopholes in noncompetitive contracts could mark a crucial step toward financial responsibility. But whether lawmakers will address these concerns remains to be seen in a climate where spending reform and fiscal responsibility are becoming critical public demands.
