Las Vegas, nev. (Fox5) – While the Trump administration aims to eliminate government waste and federal employees are dismissed by thousands of people, government contracts are also on blocking. A small LAS VEGAS company with government contracts indicates that it is affected by the DOGE cuts. He says that federal government credit cards are now decreasing.
Over the years, Splash Box Marketing has experienced contracts with all kinds of government agencies. They ensure that their website is in accordance with the laws that force them to be accessible to disabled people, in particular visual impairment. For the moment, everything is pending.
“We make a correction for the entire national park system. So everything that is on a website of national parks that we touch … We are probably talking about 100,000 documents per year, “revealed Jenny Woldt, CEO. Woldt started Splash Box Marketing in 2006 in southern California, but three years ago moved to Nevada with several employees.
“We headed there because, you know, no state and business tax,” said Woldt. Splash Box Marketing guarantees things like monthly newsletters will work with programs that read websites aloud.
“When a misunderstanding person is to navigate a website or document they have downloaded from a website, he uses a screen player and what we do is behind the scenes and we are doing the programming to tell this screen player how to read this document,” Woldt reported.
It is the federal law that government websites must be accessible to millions of Americans who are hard, but Woldt says that money for their services has now disappeared.
“We were going to manage these credit cards for jobs that we had finished and that they were rejected because they had been frozen and therefore it caused a lot of panic, as you can imagine with the USDA and the national parks when they were trying to manage their credit cards and they therefore began to call, began to discover that many of their expenses had been combined”.
It is a huge loss for the small business. Government contracts represent around 40% of their business. The federal government is the last customer who, according to them, would not pay his invoice.
“Right now, we probably have about $ 40,000 at $ 50,000 sitting in work we have done, we have finished and we are not going to be paid. I don’t know when we’re going to be paid … I really hate starting to let people go. The hope is that it may turn around in a month or two, “said Woldt.
The small company always assesses the options on how to be paid and contacts the small business and the representatives of Nevada. The CEO also hits the phones that reach out to private sector companies to try to compensate for the contracts of the lost government.
