What EY Government Contract Services can do for you

EY Government Contract Services professionals are dedicated to helping clients achieve their business objectives efficiently and in compliance with applicable procurement regulations, whether through government contracts, grants, government pricing reimbursement programs or participation in various other government arrangements. Our team works in, and across, all industries where the US government procures, or provides reimbursement for, goods or services.

These industries include aerospace, consumer goods and services, defense, energy, engineering and construction, health care, information technology, life sciences, nonprofits (e.g., FFRDCs, universities), professional services, telecommunications and utilities.  

US government procurements and reimbursements are governed by strict public policies implemented and enforced through complex statutes, rules, regulations and requirements. Our team of experienced government compliance consultants assists clients with understanding and addressing government contract accounting and compliance issues. Success working with the US government hinges on capability and preparedness to adhere to government policies from the outset and to maintain ongoing compliance throughout the duration of your involvement in government pricing and contracting.
