# Quantum Coalition Urges NQIRA Reauthorization

The Quantum Industry Coalition is urging Congress to enact the National Quantum Initiative Reauthorization Act (NQIRA) through the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act. Its priorities include higher funding authorizations for quantum testbeds and technology centers, workforce development, and support for commercially available quantum hardware and software. The signal identifies policy priorities, but no specific contract, funding amount, or procurement deadline; any program opportunities would depend on legislative action and subsequent solicitations.

- Contractors and research organizations can assess how their quantum hardware, software, testbed, and workforce capabilities align with the coalition’s stated priorities.
- The proposed focus on commercially available technology may create opportunities for suppliers if the reauthorization advances and agencies issue related solicitations.
- The coalition identifies House-Senate reconciliation as a point to follow; no procurement action or solicitation is announced in the signal.
