Everything about Beltway Bandits totally explained
Beltway bandit is a term for private companies located in or near
Washington, D.C. whose major business is to provide consulting services to the US government. The phrase was originally a mild insult, implying that the companies preyed like bandits on the largesse of the federal government, but it has lost much of its pejorative nature and is now often used as a neutral, descriptive term.
The name comes from the
Capital Beltway, the ring road that surrounds Washington. (The entire road is officially called Interstate 495, although the eastern half is cosigned with
Interstate 95, which traverses most of the East Coast.) The majority of private contractors are located, or at least headquartered, inside this road in order to be close to federal agencies and legislators.
Other uses
Beltway Bandits is the name of a women's competitive travelling ice-hockey program in the DC area.
