# DHS Drives Record Civilian Procurement

Preliminary Bloomberg Government analysis reports that federal civilian procurement obligations reached a record $332.7 billion in fiscal 2026, $45.5 billion (16%) above fiscal 2025. DHS was the largest stated growth driver, with obligations of $72.1 billion—138% higher than the prior year. The figures point to increased federal civilian spending, particularly at DHS, but the report identifies no specific solicitations or contract awards.

- Contractors can use the reported spending growth as market context when assessing their DHS and broader federal civilian pipeline; obligations do not identify future solicitations or guarantee new awards.
- Procurement teams should distinguish agency-level spending trends from actionable opportunities, since the report provides no contract-level details, vendors, or procurement contacts.
- Companies serving DHS can factor the reported increase into business planning while validating opportunities through specific agency procurement notices and solicitations.
