# AFMC Obligates $49.8B FY2026 Funding

Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) obligated nearly all of its **$49.8 billion in FY2026 investment funding** for programs including the F-47, Collaborative Combat Aircraft, Sentinel, B-21 Raider, and advanced munitions. Small-business awards totaled $10.4 billion, including more than $2 billion in Phase III SBIR/STTR awards and more than $224 million through other transaction agreements. These obligation figures signal substantial defense investment, but do not identify open solicitations or guarantee new awards.

- Contractors can use the named programs to focus market research and identify relevant procurement notices; the funding announcement itself is not a solicitation.
- Small businesses may find relevant pathways in AFMC’s reported SBIR/STTR Phase III awards and OTAs, though the figures do not specify upcoming competitions.
- The Defense R&D Summit is scheduled for February 4, 2027, and may provide market insight into these investment areas.
