Industry Analysis

The outbreak of COVID-19 is a human tragedy of terrible magnitude, devastating the health and finances of millions upon millions in the U.S. and around the world.

Yet, despite the awful toll the coronavirus pandemic is taking on the economy here and abroad, the public sector in North America is still actively soliciting and purchasing goods, services, and solutions as before. The difference now is that a growing volume of those solicitations expressly pertain to slowing or stopping the spread of the contagion and/or providing care and relief to its victims.

Economists working for the feds expect to raise another $200 billion during fiscal year 2020, bringing total U.S. government income through the end of this September to $3.64 trillion. FULL REPORT
