Nemo me impune lacessit
The Office of Personnel Management (~2500 employees) budgeted $370M for IT spending in FY2025. They believe this value can be reduced by ~80% while maintaining equivalent levels of service. Initial reductions include:


-$1.9M for studies on quantum cryptography and quantum response readiness

- $1.5M for support on a "large number of OPM-wide AI proof-of-concepts and pilots"

- $364k for 1,000 unused cybersecurity software licenses

-$121k in unused Zoom licenses
