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.
