# Senator Murray Seeks Stopgap Extension

Sen. Patty Murray is urging negotiators to pursue another short-term continuing resolution that would extend federal funding into next year unless Republicans agree to limits on the Iran conflict. The proposal could prolong uncertainty over appropriations and agency funding timelines, but the signal identifies no specific contract opportunities, funding amounts, or procurement deadlines.

- Agencies and contractors reliant on federal appropriations may face continued uncertainty in funding availability and procurement schedules if lawmakers use another stopgap measure.
- Businesses should account for possible shifts in agency spending timelines when planning work dependent on federal funding; no specific solicitations or deadlines are identified.
