# DHS Moves Forecasts to 4SITE

The Department of Homeland Security is retiring its Acquisition Planning Forecast System (APFS) and moving acquisition forecast access to 4SITE. The migration creates a temporary gap in visibility for contractors seeking DHS pipeline information. Contractors should save or document current forecasts, check DHS’s acquisition-planning page beginning November 5, 2026, and verify that subscriptions and access resume on December 9, 2026.

- Preserve current APFS forecast information before the transition so upcoming DHS opportunities remain available for capture planning.
- Check DHS’s acquisition-planning page starting November 5 for forecast access and transition information.
- Verify subscription notifications and 4SITE access when they resume December 9; account for the visibility gap in opportunity tracking and bid planning.
