Trace Pentagon budget lines (R-1 / P-1) directly to prime contracts, incumbents & expiring awardsMatch every program element to the contracts that fund it, see who holds the work, and get alerted when it recompetes - 7-day free trial. | ||||
Budget books show money requested, enacted and spent by fiscal year before contracts show it. Enacted procurement money stays available to obligate for 3 years, RDT&E for 2 years and shipbuilding for 5, so a line funded this year turns into contract awards over the following 1 to 5 years. DoD contract actions then publish on USAspending about 90 days after signing (DFARS PGI 204.6), so the awards database trails these budget lines by months to years. Reprogramming actions move enacted money between accounts during the year, usually ahead of the awards it funds.
