# Federal Agencies Delay GovCon Software Decisions

Roper Technologies reported 11% revenue growth and 6% organic growth in Q1 2026, and raised its full-year adjusted DEPS guidance to $21.80–$22.05. At the same time, Deltek’s GovCon enterprise market remains soft: federal procurement disruption, agency reorganizations, and budget uncertainty are delaying large enterprise software decisions. Roper’s guidance assumes neither a near-term GovCon recovery nor a benefit from the One Big Beautiful Bill.

- Procurement teams and contractors evaluating enterprise software should account for delayed federal decisions amid procurement disruption, reorganizations, and budget uncertainty.
- For software providers serving government contractors, Roper’s outlook signals that near-term GovCon demand may remain weak; business plans should not depend on an imminent recovery or on benefits from the One Big Beautiful Bill.
