联邦索赔法院支持国土安全部取消百亿美元IT采购 GAO指其105亿美元节省说法夸大
华盛顿——美国联邦索赔法院法官Edward H. Meyers在一份 10 月 13 日重新发布的完整意见中，支持国土安全部 2025 年取消 FirstSource III 信息技术采购工具的决定，驳回 23 家小企业抗议者的主张，并拒绝其投标与提案成本的索赔。该案为 Westwind Partners, LLP 诉美国案，案号24-1504C；意见最初于 9 月 30 日在密封状态下提交，在各方确认无需删节后重新发布。据 BloombergLaw 报道，Meyers 法官指出，特朗普总统 2025 年关于联邦采购的行政令 14240 要求各机构将通用商品与
服务的国内采购整合至总务管理局（GSA）之下——该行政令并未强制国土安全部取消这项规模约 100 亿美元的采购，但为取消决定提供了合理依据。
法院并未就国土安全部为取消决定所附的成本节省数字是否准确作出认定。而政府问责办公室（GAO）约四周前发布的报告（GAO-26-109096）称该数字不实。据 GAO 报告，国土安全部去年年初审查了 17,000份合同、终止 438 份，净解除义务金额为 9,200 万美元，却对外声称这些取消可避免逾 105 亿美元的未来成本。GAO 指出，这一数字夸大了实际可避免成本：其一，它代表的是这些合同项下最高可能支出的金额，而非实际将会支出的金额；其二，被终止合同所覆盖的需求若仍然存在并通过其他合同满足，相关成本并非被「避免」、而是换了渠道发生。GAO 举例称，所称 105 亿美元中的 95% 来自 30 份被终止的 IT 不定期合同（履约期至 2034 财年），而国土安全部已在 2025 财年通过现有的全政府合同为同样的需求支出逾 17 亿美元——这 17 亿美元并非被避免、而是经其他合同实际发生。GAO 称已将报告草案交国土安全部审阅，该部未提交正式评论、仅提供技术性意见。
Claims Court Upholds DHS Cancellation of $10 Billion FirstSource III IT Vehicle, as GAO Questions the Department's $10.5 Billion Savings Claim
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Court of Federal Claims has upheld the Department of Homeland Security's 2025 cancellation of the FirstSource III information technology contract vehicle, rejecting 23 small- business protesters on the merits. In an opinion re-issued in full on October 13, 2026, Judge Edward H. Meyers denied the plaintiffs' motion for judgment on the administrative record and granted the government's cross-motion, also denying the protesters' bid and proposal costs. The case is Westwind Partners, LLP v. United States, No. 24-1504C; the opinion was first filed under seal on September 30 and re-issued after the parties confirmed no redactions were necessary. According to Bloomberg Law, Judge Meyers said President Trump's 2025 federal contracting executive order, EO 14240 — which directed agencies to consolidate domestic procurement of common goods and services under the General Services Administration — did not compel DHS to cancel the roughly $10 billion procurement but provided a rational basis for doing so.
The court did not decide whether the cost-avoidance figure DHS attached to the cancellation was accurate. A Government Accountability Office report released about four weeks earlier, GAO-26-109096, said it was not. GAO found that DHS had reviewed 17,000 contracts early last year and terminated 438, deobligating a net $92 million, while publicly claiming the cancellations could avoid more than $10.5 billion in future costs. GAO said the claim overstates actual costs avoided for two reasons: it represents the maximum that could be obligated under the contracts rather than what would actually have been obligated, and where requirements remain and are met through other contracts, the costs are incurred through those contracts rather than avoided. GAO noted that 95 percent of the claimed $10.5 billion related to 30 terminated indefinite-delivery/indefinite- quantity IT contracts running through fiscal 2034, and that DHS obligated over $1.7 billion in fiscal year 2025 through existing government-wide contracts to meet those same requirements — meaning that $1.7 billion was not avoided but incurred through other contracts. DHS provided no formal comments on GAO's draft report, sending technical comments instead.
