Direct spending in procurement is the term used to refer to funds that are transferred from federal agencies, either directly or through a third party, to acquire goods and services. This type of purchasing helps ensure that government money is spent wisely while encouraging competition among vendors. It also makes it easier for agencies to identify potential fraud and misuse of funds. Direct spending is an effective way for agencies to purchase what they need without having to meet cumbersome regulations. In short, it’s an efficient way for the government to get things done!
