The Department of Homeland Security awarded a $250,000 public affairs contract through a 31-hour bidding window — to a Republican firm with no government contracting history, whose principals are veterans of Trump's presidential campaigns. The solicitation explicitly required applicants to have a track record of promoting Trump administration policies, a condition procurement law experts say they have never seen in writing before. Federal law demands that public funds be spent with complete impartiality. This contract violated that standard openly. We call on Congress to investigate this award, ban partisan loyalty requirements from federal solicitations, and restore independent oversight of DHS contracting decisions.
