Enactment Intelligence

From requested pipeline to enacted law — where does funding actually land?

Senate CDS requests reveal demand before appropriations. Enacted projects show what Congress confirmed. The gap between the two is where market intelligence lives.

How to read this page

FY2022–2024 are the enacted Senate CDS record. FY2025–2026 are the requested pipeline — not yet law.

Senate CDS requests and enacted awards are captured separately. Enacted records (FY2022–2024) show what Congress confirmed in appropriations law. Requested records (FY2025–2026) show what senators submitted — the forward-looking pipeline before appropriations are finalized. The agency and category tables below show which areas have the most established enacted track records vs the largest pending pipelines. Requested records are pipeline signals, not confirmed funding.

Act on the Signal

The requested pipeline is the leading indicator — not the lagging one.

Teams that track Senate CDS requests today are looking at the same funding that will appear on SAM.gov and in RFPs 12–18 months from now. FFID keeps the pipeline current, weekly.
