Top Trends Impacting Government Contracts: Key Insights from the 2025 GAUGE Report
About this episode
This episode discusses key insights from the 2025 GAUGE Report on trends impacting government contracts and resource management challenges.
The pressures that are reshaping the broader business environment also affect government contracting. These shifts reflect major trends impacting government contracts, and according to Cohn Reznick and Unanet’s 2025 GAUGE Report , 57 percent of GovCon firms cite finding new revenue streams as their biggest challenge, and 79 percent of them are having trouble winning new contracts. While demand and funding cycles become more unpredictable, resource management continues to be one of the most persistent operational challenges, with firms reporting persistent understaffing, increasing compliance hours, and growing pressure to improve efficiency. In this episode of the Government Technology Insider podcast, host Lucas Hunsicker discusses the latest GAUGE findings on resource planning, competitive resilience, and project execution with Kim Koster , Vice President of GovCon Strategy at Unanet. They explore why hybrid PMO structures are becoming more popular, where AI is delivering measurable value, and how GovCons can improve forecasting and reduce dependency on spreadsheets to successfully navigate a more competitive and complex market.
