This signal is one of the converging government actions below.

Over the last 90 days, 188 separate government actions have converged on VA / Government Health IT. What that means: federal dollars are already moving — agencies are soliciting bids and awarding contracts, not just talking, and legislation and executive action are building the policy and funding tailwind behind it. When independent channels move together like this — 136 federal contracts, 26 procurement notices, 22 bills, 2 news and 2 executive actions — it's the clearest early tell that Washington is committing to va / government health it, the kind of build-up that reshapes the sector well before it's obvious in the headlines.

Exec OrderSep 29, 2026

Streamlining Access to Government Services Through America.gov

The executive order directs the General Services Administration to create America.gov, a unified digital portal for federal services, integrating Login.gov for authentication and requiring agencies to expose their digital services via APIs. It also mandates the use of AI (referred to as 'super intelligence') with transparency safeguards, while preserving existing service channels and excluding tax and defense/intelligence services.

Enhancing Program Integrity and Integrity and Interagency Coordination in the Administration of the H-1B Nonimmigrant Visa Program

This executive order directs the Secretaries of State, Labor, and Homeland Security to coordinate with Commerce, Education, and the SBA when processing H-1B petitions, and requires them to consider whether the employer has engaged in layoffs of similarly situated U.S. workers within the past year. It also orders the Labor Department to review past labor condition applications for potential enforcement actions against sponsoring employers, effectively tightening scrutiny on H-1B usage, especially by outsourcing firms.

proclamationSep 18, 2026

Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers

This proclamation extends for an additional 12 months the existing restriction on entry of H-1B nonimmigrant workers, which requires a $100,000 payment per petition (with limited exceptions) and is supported by a DHS weighted selection process that prioritizes higher-skilled, higher-paid workers. The action continues to target IT staffing and outsourcing firms that have abused the program, and it maintains the requirement for ongoing rulemakings by DHS and DOL to further reform wage protections and program integrity.
