# DOGE Returns High-Value Contracts for Corrections

A federal contracting office is returning contracts with specified PSC codes and values above $1 million for corrections, including submissions that previously may have been cleared automatically when no review occurred within three business days. The office has not provided usable resubmission instructions or a clear reviewer response, leaving contractors uncertain about how to resolve deficiencies. A commenter reported being asked for additional documents but received no feedback; the suggestion that AI screens submissions is unconfirmed.

- Contractors handling affected submissions should not assume that the prior three-business-day process still results in clearance; returned packages may require correction or additional documentation.
- Because resubmission guidance and reviewer feedback are unclear, companies may face added rework and uncertainty in planning contract actions. Retain submission and return records to clarify what was requested and what was provided.
- The signals do not identify the PSC codes or provide a confirmed screening method, so contractors should avoid assuming that AI is involved or that the reported process applies to other contract types.
