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

Two kinds of "requested" on this page mean two different things.

FY2022–2024 and FY2026 already have a confirmed enacted record — Congress signed those appropriations bills. A "requested" row for one of those years isn't a forward-looking signal — it's our own reconciliation backlog: the project is already law, we just haven't matched it to its enacted record in our system yet. FY2025 and FY2027 have no enacted record at all — those "requested" rows are the real thing: a genuine forward-looking pipeline, submitted by senators, 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.

Year Over Year

Senate CDS enacted vs requested by fiscal year

A year with an enacted row already has a confirmed record — its own "requested" row (if any) is unmatched backlog, not a pipeline signal. FY2025 and FY2027 have no enacted record yet — those are the genuine forward pipeline.

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 before many public procurement signals emerge. FFID keeps the pipeline current, weekly.
