# Senate Panel Proposes $173B FY27 Military-VA Funding

On November 11, 2026, the Senate Appropriations Committee released a proposed FY 2027 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies bill with $173.2 billion in base discretionary funding. The proposal includes $3.7 billion for VA construction, increased electronic health record funding, and $28.6 billion for Department of War military construction and family housing, covering more than 280 projects at U.S. and overseas installations. The bill is proposed, not enacted, so these amounts are not yet final appropriations or guaranteed contract opportunities.

- Construction firms may find a potential pipeline in the proposed VA hospital and cemetery work and the military construction and family housing projects; the proposal does not identify specific solicitations or award dates.
- Health IT contractors should note the proposed increase in VA electronic health record funding, while recognizing that the signal provides no project-level requirements or funding amount.
- Companies can use the proposal’s funding categories and project volume for preliminary market and capacity planning, but should distinguish proposed funding from enacted appropriations when making commitments.
