Description: Federal Tech Spend in FY26: AI, Cloud, and Cybersecurity

Transcript for "Federal Tech Spend in FY26: AI, Cloud, and Cybersecurity": Alright. Good morning, everyone. It is 10AM my time in San Antonio, Texas, and it should be about 11AM over there in Washington, DC. So we are gonna get started with today's event, and I first just wanna say thank you so much for taking time out of your day. I know everyone has a crazy busy schedule right now with the holidays. So we're just gonna jump right into this event. And I do wanna let you know that we're gonna have time at the very end for some questions. So at any time during this event, you have any questions that you want me to answer for you, please put them in the chat here. We will organize it, and I will make sure we answer every single question coming through here today. And be on the lookout for Sam here in our chat. She's gonna be putting in some housekeeping links, resources, q and a, everything like that, for you guys to just kinda read along as we're going here today. Hey, Bill. Good morning. Thank you so much for always joining our events. Alright. So jumping right here at the first minute of the hour here. Alright. So good morning, everyone. My name is Britney Winkler, and I am the senior go to market enablement manager here at Govdash. And welcome to Federal Tech Spend in 2026. Today, we're gonna be talking about how you can position yourself for success by aligning your capture strategy with current mandates. If you've been tracking the signals this week coming out of DC, you know that we aren't just approaching a new budget cycle for the next year. We are witnessing an operational reset of the entire federal government, and then there is just so much to get into today and so much to digest. Just this past Monday, you know, December 8, Washington dropped two massive bombshells. First, negotiators realized, you know, 2026 NDAA, they released that, delivering the most significant acquisition reforms in this generation. Second, the White House released the president's management agenda. It's your PMA, I'm explicitly mandating a smaller workforce and consolidated procurement. The days of winning on relationships are over, and we're seeing this in real time coming out of DC, especially this week. We are entering what I'm calling the performance era. And today, we're gonna cut through the noise of this week's news and everything that has happened in 2025, and I'm gonna show you exactly how you can position yourself to align with these mandates coming out of DC. Alright. So for those of you guys don't know me, my name is Britney Winkler. Again, I'm the senior go to market enablement manager here at GovDash. My job is to track these massive policy shifts, like the ones we just saw dropped Monday, and translate them into actionable capture strategies so you don't just survive these changes, you capitalize on them. My passion lies in data, and I absolutely love getting the opportunity like this to share my insights with you, market intel, competitive analysis, and how you can position yourself for growth. So our agenda for today, here's our road map for the next forty minutes. I wanna make it really clear what you're going to be getting out of this event today. And remember, at the very end, we do have some time for questions. First, we're gonna track key policy drivers, specifically, but not limited to the double barrel reform from the MDAA and PMA that dropped Monday. Second, we're gonna look at targeting the right buyers and why the new biotech bans, shrinking the government mandates, AI mandates create clear winners. Third, we're gonna talk about how you can align capture strategies, for example, with the FAR two point o changes that change the way you would audition for work. Fourth, we're gonna break down what I like to call the tech trifecta. This is gonna be your cloud, AI, and cyber along with competing where the dollars are moving today. And finally, we're gonna wrap up with what this all means for you here today. And I'm titling that our battle plan, what you're gonna be able to do in the next year to come, 2026, with all of this data and intel I'm giving you today, but putting it into a plan that makes sense for you, including a critical deadline for, you know, not only the AA firms that just got hit with that huge mandate last week that, you know, by the way, only has thirty days away before hitting, but so much more packed into that. So we got a lot to cover here today, and, you know, I I really want to save time for questions as well. So make sure you're putting those in the chat here. Alright. So everything I'm talking about here today comes directly from my most recent report at GovDASH. Report is titled winning the 2026 pipeline, and it is, you know, my most recent report here at GovDASH. And it covers, so many topics, but not but not limited to Oasis plus rollout, the AI Gold Rush, and a full GovCon road map that hits every agency, every subagency, every vehicle, every contractor service category, every NAICS, every PSC. It really has someone for everyone out there, including SLED. So what we're gonna do here is Sam has, your access to this free report today. The link is going to be in the chat. You know, redownload the report. You can click on the link here. This is directly to the report landing page. Once you fill out, you know, a short information survey, you're going to get the email with the direct download. So you're able to download the full entire 60 page report here today, read it, share it, do whatever you want with it. A lot of what I'm talking about here today, again, comes directly from this report, but also, you know, new developments as well that just occurred, you know, the last few weeks, the last few months, and especially since Monday. Alright. So now before we get into strategy in the entire talk, I want to level set on terminology. In GovCon, these are what I'm calling the forces of nature that control, you know, what you're doing here as government contractors, and they're all shifting at once if you can believe it or not. I know it's a lot that is happening right now, but I really wanna lay out the land of what we're gonna be talking about here today. That way you can, you know, digest it and figure out what that exactly means for you. I know everyone here is a different type of gun government contractor, whether it is, you know, in government or SLED or DOD or health or FEDSIV. So there's a little bit here, that is in fact, impacting everyone here today. So the first one is the FAR. This is gonna be your federal acquisition regulation. This is the rule book. It tells contracting officers how they can how they can legally buy from you. The NDAA, this is the National Defense Authorization Act. This is the wallet. It's passed by congress every year, and it decides what the military can spend money on. And this was updated this Monday. EOs, these are your executive orders. These are the marching orders from the White House. They set priorities like use AI or buy American. The ARS, this is your acquisition reform strategy. This is the new DOD's operating system released last month on November 10. The NIST, certification here. This is the security standard. Think of this as the test you have to pass still to the government. The The CMMC two point o. This is the gatekeeper. It's a certification that proves you passed the test. Without it, you cannot hold DOD data. The DFARS. This is, you know, just additional rules to supplement FAR implementation. And lastly, the PMA. This is a president's management agenda, also released Monday. This is the CEO's business plan for the entire government, setting the standard of what America wants to focus on during this current administration. So these are just a few of the things we're gonna be talking about today. I know I couldn't include all of them. We only have an hour to talk, but these are the most important that I felt, you know, we needed to talk about today. So let's get right into it. The first thing following our agenda, we're gonna be talking about how you can track key policy drivers. So let's start with the policy landscape. Right now, we are seeing a coordinated push for speed in commercialization. The operational reset. Right now, we are seeing the convergence of, you know, four massive forces, but I do have two more on the side just, you know, taking a account of what happened this week in DC. The first one is the FAR two point o overhaul. This is the biggest rewrite in forty years. It's stripping away procedural bloat to favor speed. It empowers contracting officers to use commercial style buying, rapid down selects, and prototypes instead of massive paper proposals. The second one here, Trump two point o executive orders. We are seeing a push for deregulation and specific mandates against what they're calling woke AI procurement. The third one, the one gov strategy. This is the physical consolidation of buying power. The government is moving away billions from siloed agency contracts and onto GSA vehicles. The fourth one here, the insider threat. This is the one no one talks about. K? This is the cyber civil fraud initiative. Right now, the DOD is using the False Claims Act against contractors who misrepresent their cyber status. If you claim to be NIST, that NIST compliant, and you aren't, it's now considered fraud. The last two items here, again, as I mentioned, are food for thought. Just taking into account everything that has happened this week with those two new documents that were released on Monday. The first one is that NDAA and that PMA. Monday's releases explicitly call for consolidated procurement. These were huge documents that were released. And, truly, when you get down to the bottom of it, it is the government's administration saying, hey. We are going to consolidate procurement, and this is exactly how we're gonna do it. We're gonna buy as one entity, and this all makes sense as we're seeing the effects of the one gov strategy that came out as official policy. The last one here and, you know, I think is the most impactful depending on who you are and what kind of government contractor you are, this is the TMF cliff. The NDAA, which was released Monday, excluded reauthorization of the Technology Modernization Fund, this TMF. The authority expires this Friday, December 12. And if you are a civilian dealing, with, you know, relying on these TMF dollars, it is very important to know that right now that funding vehicle is in immediate danger. Congress has until this Friday, December 12, to reinstate funding for that, you know, for the TMF. And, ultimately, it is up to Congress right now, so it is a waiting and see game right now. Jumping right into how you can target the right buyers and vehicles. Let's follow the money. I've analyzed the 2026 budget request, how much agencies spent in 2025, and the difference is drastic when you look at the raw numbers. Alright. So this is the 2026 budget. This is a snapshot taken directly from my report that I mentioned here at the very beginning. Again, Sam put your access to this free report. The link is in the chat here. Once you click on it, you fill out the short information, and you get an email right away with the direct link to download this entire report. So if you wanna follow along with some of the snapshots I'm talking about here today in the data, please refer to that report. So, again, this snapshot is directly from the report. This is not a rising tide year. It is a year of extreme winners and, unfortunately, losers. The winners here, as you can see with my data, I have you know, in the first column, it's 2025 budget that was actually enacted. The second one is the 2026 budget request for this upcoming year. And then I have a column for the dollar change. So this is the raw number, increase or decrease by the billion. And then most most interesting in my opinion is the percent change. I'm breaking everything down by who had a percent increase, what was the exact number, and we're color coding them by green and red. Very obvious, you know, who is a contender for this year spending the most money. The obvious winners here are gonna be your DHS. This is the undisputed king of growth, requesting a massive 65% increase for 2026. This is driven by cyber defense, border tech, and FEMA upgrades. DOD, by no one's surprise, remains the heavyweight, up 13%. And if you go back the last thirteen last fifteen years, this is, you know, right on the mark of what they increased by yearly. The unfortunate losers, you know, I hate to put that term out there, but they're obvious red zones, and you can see them here right now. The Department of State is by far facing the biggest drop in requested funds at 84% drop, for their 2026 budget request. Also, the DOL, the Department of Labor is down 35%, and HHS, your health and human services, is also down by almost 30% here at, you know, down 26%. So taking into mind, you know, what has happened in 2025? For example, Doge, if you're looking at the wrong numbers there, DOS, the Department of State, got hit way harder than any other agency. More than half of their contracts were canceled by Dodge. So if you're taking an account policy, Doge, you know, things that happened in the market and do a comparative analysis, you can really predict, you know, why these 2026 numbers look so drastic or not, compared to the previous year. And, you know, I even do a five year, budget look within my report, which is, you know, even more interesting. If you really care about the numbers and doing some side above forecast for where agencies are gonna be, not only next year, but, you know, in the five or ten years as we look further down the road. So the big idea here is the strategy. Where are you playing today? Are you going to be game day ready based on these numbers, but also policy and things that, you know, are rumored to happen or waiting, congressional appeal or approval. You know? Are you ready? Taking in mind, you know, not only these numbers, but everything that's happening in the government, especially if you are in federal procurement. So I always love to talk about following the hidden money. This is where my specialty lies. I love looking at opportunities and past incumbents and forecasting how much agencies are going to be spending on specific programs. So here, you know, I have, the iconic glacier, analogy here. So there is hidden money that doesn't show up in those standard agency budgets that I just showed you because, you know, a lot of the time, agencies make decisions that are multi hundreds of billions of dollar decisions, you know, at the last minute or just kind of because this is what, you know, the agency and the, program needs right now at this point. And a lot of that information comes out during industry days, and, you know, I saw a lot of that happen at the most recent DISA industry day. Forecast to industry, that just happened this week as well. So the first, you know, I have above the glacier here is your standard agency budgets. We all know what this is. This is what I just showed you. But, you know, again, this doesn't really intel every single dollar that is proposed by, you know, the administration and based on where agencies are going, based on, you know, the services that they need at this point in time with things that come up all the time. Right? The first one under the glacier here is what is called Project Stargate. This is a proposed $500,000,000,000 AI infrastructure expansion for data centers that is expected to hit next year early next year, by the way. The second one here is one that we are we should all be familiar with, with this current administration. It's called the one big beautiful bill act, that OBBA. This contains $6,200,000,000 specifically for border security AI. And if we look back here, I mentioned, you know, DHS is up 65%. We're looking at, you know, the one big beautiful bill that was, you know, enacted. As an idea earlier this year. We can take it in account, okay, this might be the reason why they have a 65% increase, you know, because of opportunities in the billions such as this one. So the big idea here is to remember standard agency budgets will not be enough to rely on this year. You need to be going to industry days. You need to follow opportunity signals and follow the news of what agencies need right now, but not only their services and what you can provide as a company, but their ideas of what they're gonna be needing, not only next year, but in the next five years to come. The One Gov strategy, what I've mentioned previously earlier in my talk. This is consolidation reality. We're gonna be looking at how agencies buy. The One Gov consolidation is real. It's very important to realize that. We saw the signal loud and clear when DHS FirstSource three, for example, was canceled earlier this year in June 2025. That was a massive vehicle, but where did the work go? I can tell you today that it was all redirected to SEWP and GSA schedules. And currently, there are still task orders that are expiring today. The lesson here, just with, you know, this funnel of where everything is planning to go, the White House just told every agency to stop writing their own contracts and use big vehicles, those best in class vehicles like Oasis plus, like SEWP, like, Alliance three, like eight, vehicles that are, you know, not even out there yet. The main goal to understand here is that, you know, our administration is telling us they are trying to consolidate procurement, and use these big vehicles, these best in class vehicles versus sole source contracts. And if you aren't on these vehicles, you are fighting the president's management agenda, that PMA that just came out this Monday. So now we're gonna jump into how you can align capture strategies. So how will you win this work? You know the market is changing. You know policy is changing. Everything is changing all at once. How can you use this intel to the advantage? We're gonna get right into it. Right? For example, FAR two point o has changed the physics of winning, and this is impacting everyone. The new two, the new FAR two point o playbook. The new rules have transformed capture into a live audition, and we are hearing more and more about this as we get through the year. The first one here, negotiations. Under new deviations to FAR part 15, to be exact, contracting officers can now negotiate with a single offer without reopening discussions with everyone else. That means you might not get a second chance or a final proposal revision. Your first bid effectively has to be your best. The second one, orals. These are now dialogues. Gone are the days of reading slides. The agency and the industry need and want interactive dialogues so so they can see how your team thinks and so they can see how your team is different from everyone out there. And the third one here is proof. Agencies are using new authorities to ask for proof kits. These are live demos and prototypes before the RFP even drops. This is so important. This is why it is, you know, very imperative that you are being on the lookout of the signals for opportunities before they even come out. Stop building slide decks and start building demo packages that you can show in fifteen minutes in an intro meeting. All of this to say here, you know, just compete where the dollars are moving from discussions to negotiations. Every day, I feel like I hear so much about how, you know, orals are going to be the new future of GovCon and how people bid and how people compete with each other. Make sure you're ready. Make sure you have those demo packages ready to go. You are able to, you know, provide information as soon as anybody asks or not about what your company provides, taking into account, you know, your company website. When agencies look at your website, are you very explicit with what what services you provide and your past performance, who your partners are, and what your goals are as a company? Take all those things in mind today to make sure, you know, you are aligning with this far point two point o, and future, deviations to far as we go here along in the future. Alright. And then we're gonna be talking about competing where dollars are moving. This is where we are gonna be talking about the tech trifecta, that AI, cloud, and cyber. These are gonna be your top three technologies driving speed in 2026, and they made a huge impact in 2025. And I'm gonna show you the data to prove that. So getting right into AI, this is the one everyone is, you know, the most hyped about right now. It's making huge waves almost every single day I read the headlines of something new happening with Everyone wants AI headlines, but CIOs know they can't run it without modern infrastructure. Don't just pitch AI magic, pitch AI readiness. The second one here, cloud, the one gov squeeze that I mentioned earlier, it's pushing buying to best in class vehicles versus sole source. But here is the good news. The 2026 NDAA that I mentioned was, released Monday officially removes barriers for subscription services, making it easier for you to sell SaaS models. And that's only part of what this document is implementing, and, you know, feel free to look it up and read it. It just came out Monday, and it is very detailed and explicit in where this administration is taking their goals and what that means for you as a government contractor. The third one here, compliance is the gatekeeper with cyber. The recent crackdowns that we are all experiencing this entire 2025 mean the stakes have never been higher for the way that you are safekeeping government intel, whether it is classified, federal contract info, unclassified. There are things that you need to be doing right now to make sure you are compliant and keeping up with those certifications to be able to do business with the government. Especially if you are a DOD contractor or an SBA, you know that the crackdown is higher than anything we've ever seen in recent years. So now I wanna get into CMMC two point o. This is by far the largest conversation I've seen in industry in a long time. Everyone is hyped about it. Everyone is, you know, eager, excited, or scared about it. So I really wanna just lay out, you know, the levels of what CMMC is. That way, you know, you can do your due diligence to figure out what your goals are to provide for industry and agencies, especially if you are that DOD contractor, and just to figure out where you are in the space, compared to your competitors. So level one, this is gonna be your foundational level. If you handle basic federal contract info, your FCIs, you perform an annual self assessment to get you where you need to be to serve the government. Level two here, this is your advanced level. If you handled controlled, unclassified info, your CUIs, you align with that NIST mandate, and this generally requires a third party assessment every three years. Your last level here, level three, is expert. It is for high priority defense programs. This requires not only NIST, but a government led assessment. So looking at these three levels, make no mistake here. No certification means no contract, no task order. Level the playing field with where you are right now as a government contractor depending on which type of agencies or subagencies you are looking to go after next year, make sure you were lined and certified to provide that security that the government is not only looking for but requiring. They will not do business with you if you do not have specific levels of this DOD security outline here. So I talked about a lot today, but what does this all mean for you? Let's translate that into actionable plans that you can use, what I'm calling the battle plan for 2026. Alright. Compliance update. These are your real risks, taking into account everything that we just spent almost thirty minutes talking about here today. I wanna pause here because this is critical. If you remember anything from this talk here today, please remember, do not mistake deregulation coming from the government as a weakness from them. They know exactly what they want, and they are have unlimited power to request anything that they want. It is up to us to make sure that we are aligned with everything that they're asking. No matter if you are on the DOD, the FEDSIP, or the health side, there are different regulations that we just talked about today impacting everyone differently. So it is up to us to digest that information and make sure that we are in a place to be successful for the next year to come. On the DOD side, just this November, the DOD released its acquisition reform strategy, that ARS. The main point here that came out of that document was that the CMMC and cost accounting standards, your CAS, are not going away. Industry wants speed, and they demand security. Also, that NDAA that I previously mentioned updated on Monday directs the Pentagon to what they're calling harmonized cybersecurity regulations by June 2026. This sounds helpful, and it is, but it effectively locks CMMC, what I just talked about with those three levels, as the only standard of working with the DOD. On the small business side, this is the wake up call. Following massive fraud investigations, the SBA SBA has ordered all eight a participants to provide their last three years of financial record by 01/05/2026, and this announcement came out of DC last week that caused massive panic for not only small businesses, but specifically those eight a firms. That deadline of January 5 is less than thirty days away right now. If you miss this deadline, it's very important to understand that you face the certification. Make sure your house is in order immediately. Make sure you have those three years of financial records by that date, and position yourself for growth. You do not wanna be losing your certification. You always wanna be right, you know, at the very top of your competitors. So make sure everything is in order before well before that deadline of January 5. Again, that's only thirty days away. Alright. So taking into account everything that we just talked about, I know it's a lot. So I'm really gonna do my due diligence here to make sure everyone feels prepared and hopeful about the future. So here's your battle plan for 2026. The first thing you need to do is map the deviations. Every agency implements FAR two point o differently, and it's very important you understand that as a company. Right now, you should be tracking who is using the new rapid authorities and who is not. And looking at FAR two point o based on who you are as a government contractor, what impacts you more than others? What do you need to align with right now to best prepare yourself for future deviations and implementations and just for ready for anything that can drop at a moment's notice. Take, for example, at AA fraud audit. That just happened last week giving you only thirty days to prepare. If something like that happens for you based on who you are as a government contractor, you always wanna be prepared, and knowledgeable about what is happening in your market and space. That way you're ready to go. And this goes right along with pivoting to growth. Depending on who you are as a government contractor and the agencies that you, provide services to. For example, if you're heavy in state, that DOS or NASA, aggressively pivot your pipeline to agencies that are requesting the most money and having these programs that are billions and millions of dollars, compared to those that are getting slashed by 50%, not only because of Doge and and policy, but agencies that are requesting far less than, you know, your legacy holders of FEDSIV, DOD, and health. The third one here is specialized to survive. The mid tier is getting squeezed, and we see this every day, but it's no reason to panic. There's still lots of hope. Right now, you should be specializing, especially if you're a small business. Target towards those opportunities and vehicles that provide on ramps for your specific small business. For example, Polaris. This is the new engine for those service disabled veteran owned small businesses, and even Oasis plus. Right? They have on ramp, pools for every small business out there. Make sure you were jumping on those opportunities, doing your market intel and competitive analysis way before that RFP and that RFI initially drop. And the fourth one here, audit readiness. Hit that January 5 deadline for the small business. If you don't survive that audit or you just choose not to comply or get your dates next up and don't have all your compliance ready to go, the rest of the strategy that we just talked about today, unfortunately, does not matter for you. You need to be making sure you're aligning with what the agency and government are asking from you, especially if you are that small business being subject to an audit. And I'm also just gonna add this here because of recent news coming out of DC this week. Be on the lookout for that TMF cliff. That funding, authority expires this Friday, December 12 as we previously discussed. And if you have a deal relying on TMF, verify your funding sources immediately. Do not wait till Friday. And also just be very in the know of what congress is doing to either supplement funding, increase, decrease, take it away, or, you know, reinstate it tomorrow. Alright. So just ending this recap here. 2026 isn't just about who has the best tech. It's about who has the best trade craft, and gone are the days, you know, as I mentioned, are winning contracts just based on who you know. The most important things here for you today are, remember, can you survive the SBA, that small business audit if you are a small business, specifically that AA? Can you navigate that TMF expiration if that is your funding source for any upcoming upcoming contracts? Can you bring value in a live demo? Remember I mentioned those orals are coming up. Every agency right now is talking about implementing those. With the new age of AI tools helping you write proposals, are you ready to not only read from slides, but have your team represent the services you can provide to government? And today, I encourage you to, again, download that full report that Sam put in the link here today for you if you wanna take a deeper look at exact numbers and and take a really great deep dive into the data. And I'm happy to take any questions right now, but also meet offline. I'm always reachable through LinkedIn, and I also do monthly webinars through gov dash just like this, with a new report launching every quarter. And just in a few weeks next month, I have the next report scheduled to be released in January, and this is gonna be your ultimate GovCon forecast, with, you know, top, opportunities that are coming up and recompetes that you should have top in mind of your pipeline and why. So thank you guys so much again today for spending some time with me. I really appreciate it. And I just want to get back here to the main page, and we are going to be answering some questions here. Cool. Alright. Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate it. Again, if you have any questions, we do have some time. Right now, I'll save it at the very end to get into anything specific. Alright. I do see one question about, let's see. You mentioned the SBA January 5 deadline for eight days. Is that for everyone or just companies under audit? So, yeah, this is for every eight a participant. Following again the criminal investigations that the DOD is doing right now, I think it was about 550,000,000 that they discovered in a fraud scheme. So the SBA, very important to know that they're not taking any chances. They really need to conduct this audit, within the next thirty days. So, again, it's providing your last three years of, visible years of financial records, and every eight a firm is under audit. It's not singling out anyone above the rest. This is mandatory to not lose your certification by January 5. Alright. It looks like people are receiving the reports. Again, the link is in there. It takes you directly to the link via email. We got Bill here. When I was a fed, I insisted on orals. The difference in quality and readiness will start. Proposal teams need coaching. For that, it's especially important as teams use tools like Govdash, thank you so much, to help create written proposals. Yes. Again, I, the more industry events and forecast industry events I attend, orals are brought up every single time across DOD, Feds, and Health. Any agency, any subagency, they're all talking about it right now. The main goal with that is to determine if a team and a company is the best fit for the services that agency industry are requesting. They are coming to the realization that everyone is kind of providing the same tools, the kind of same proposals, and I wanna make sure your team is ready to not only provide that written, but get your team together and truly understand what your goals are as a company, who you are, and why you wanna provide those services. So it's very important, you guys get ready for that just in case that implementation and policy comes down the line of 2026. Alright. I got one more question here. Okay. Alright. This one is about Golden Dome. You mentioned projects, Stargate, and the Golden Dome. How do we exactly find these opportunities? Will they be in sam.gov? So the Golden Dome, for example, was recently awarded, I think, either last week or the previous week. Sometime during December, I think, this was huge, huge opportunity. But with with those prime awardees that were mentioned, there are gonna be subcontracting opportunities and task order opportunities, through that major large opportunity just like any other huge opportunity coming down your pipeline. So be ready to jump on subcontracting opportunities. Make sure you have your teaming partners aligned. You are searching for teaming partners that you align with based on, you know, what you can provide and what those primes are looking to work with in the future and also jumping on task orders. A really great example of that is just looking at possible recompetes that are coming down the pipeline based on, you know, it was a golden dome you asked. Yeah. Then Project Stargate, this is another huge one that I haven't really seen anyone talk about, but this is projected to be solicited or to begin the solicitation process early next year. So probably around quarter two, and this is, again, a $500,000,000,000 opportunity. Again, if you're not named as a prime because we do not have information on how many awardees they're gonna be awarding, I can imagine this being hundreds. You also always have subcontracting opportunities and opportunities to partner with those primes, and task orders. So just be ready to jump on anything and make sure you're prepared, with the not only the knowledge of what's happening with those programs, but knowledge to predict, you know, what agencies are gonna be needing in the near future. Alright. So I'm gonna go ahead and end this event. Thank you guys so much for joining me again here today. My name is Britney Winkler, senior go to market manager here at Govdash. This was a talk about federal tech spend in 2026. Appreciate all the amazing feedback from you guys. Be on the lookout for our next event in January and also our next report release that is going to be, hugely impactful for GovCon, and it has a little bit of everything in there for everyone including Sled. So thank you so much again, and I really appreciate the time. I hope everyone has some great holidays coming up. Thank you, guys.
