Nixon in China
A Democratic president may actually have an easier time reforming procurement practices than a Republican one would, simply because most of the federal procurement statutes were enacted by Democratic Congresses in response to scandals back when Ronald Reagan was president.

George W. Bush could have tried it (had he been interested) but it would have been seen as part of a broader effort to restore presidential supremacy and possibly to funnel additional money to loyal Republican defense contractors. Besides, it was more his style to simply ignore statutes he found inconvenient, even if he had the votes in Congress to repeal them.
