# Federal Agencies Standardize FY2027 Forecasts

Federal agencies are moving FY2027 contracting forecasts toward standardized data and centralized access through the General Services Administration’s Forecast of Contracting Opportunities (FCO) tool, following an Office of Management and Budget directive issued November 29, 2024. The end-of-Q3 FY2026 alignment deadline has passed, but adoption remains uneven. For contractors, the forecasts offer planning signals rather than firm commitments, so FCO entries should be read alongside agency-specific forecast systems, award history, and quarterly updates.

- The FCO provides a shared place to find federal opportunity forecasts, while uneven agency adoption means some planning information may remain in agency-specific systems.
- Companies developing FY2027 pipelines can compare forecast entries with prior awards and updates; forecast listings do not guarantee a solicitation or purchase.
- Agencies named in the extracted information include CMS, NASA, and DHS, providing additional agency sources to check alongside GSA’s tool.

They're the closest thing contractors have to a real roadmap of what's actually coming, and most contractors never read them until it's already too late.
