Every year, the President’s Budget and Agency Congressional Justifications reveal billions in planned federal spending. The firms that know how to analyze these documents gain a competitive edge—aligning capabilities with upcoming priorities and positioning for awards before competitors even see the RFP.
You will learn:

  •  How the federal budget process works and when to act

  • Where to find the President’s Budget, Agency Justifications, and key Congressional reports

  • How to spot funding priorities and shifts that drive contracting opportunities

  • How to match your NAICS/PSC codes and core capabilities to agency needs

  • Strategies for turning budget data into a targeted opportunity pipeline

  • Tools (including AI) to simplify analysis and accelerate your capture strategy

Who Should Attend:

  • Small business owners pursuing federal contracts

  • Capture managers & proposal professionals

  • Consultants and teaming partners seeking insights into where agencies will spend
