The FY27 Defense Reset, Decoded

The FY27 defense budget request hits $1.45T, more than double non-defense spending for the first time on record. Built on GovDash's Capturing FY27 report, this session breaks down what's firm versus what's still moving through Congress: the $1.1T appropriations floor already advancing, the $350B reconciliation ask that's narrowed to $60B in House Budget Committee markup with the Senate still to act, and the $18B in contract terminations already redirecting into defense, border, and law enforcement work.

What you'll learn

• How to read the FY27 defense budget as two numbers: the $1.1T floor and the reconciliation upside, now $60B in the House, not the original $350B

• Why the reconciliation ask narrowed from $350B to $60B, and what to watch as the Senate takes it up

• Which agencies grew, which contracted, and where the $18B in terminated contracts is already redirecting

• How to price pipeline against the floor now, with the ceiling as upside, before October 1

Who should attend

• Capture and BD leaders, proposal directors, and contracts and compliance teams planning FY27 pipeline and pricing.
