Federal Budget and NDAA

Follow the moneyto your market.

DoW budget lines and NDAA bill text, read against your NAICS codes. GovConDash reads the Department of War budget request line by line as the Comptroller publishes it, and the year's defense authorization bill section by section as Congress writes it.

See where the request goes, find the program lines your work is budgeted in, and read what the NDAA changes for you before it becomes law.

Figures are real, as GovConDash read the Comptroller's FY 2027 exhibits on November 3, 2026, in thousands of dollars as published. Organization names are editorial labels.

Budget flow

Where the request goes

Department of War
The same chart the dashboard draws, live. The request flows into the seven exhibits it is published in, and each exhibit into the organizations or appropriation accounts it pays. Ribbon width is dollars, and the ribbons tie to the topline exactly. Switch the receiving tier, switch to the mosaic, hover a ribbon to isolate it.

Budget flow

Hover a ribbon to isolate it, or click an exhibit, a receiver or a ribbon to see what it holds.

Source: Department of War Comptroller budget materials. Summed on the Add rows only basis. Negative amounts, unpublished amounts and the folded tail are named under the chart rather than dropped.

M-1

Military Personnel

Pay and allowances for military personnel, by budget sub activity.

O-1

Operation and Maintenance

Operating accounts, by sub activity group and budget line item.

P-1

Procurement

Procurement budget line items, with unit quantities where published.

P-1R

Procurement, Reserve Components

Procurement for the Reserve and National Guard components.

R-1

Research, Development, Test and Evaluation

RDT&E program elements, by budget activity and program element.

RF-1

Revolving and Management Funds

Revolving and management fund accounts, the smallest exhibit.

C-1

Military Construction

Construction projects by location, one fiscal year per source sheet.

Seven exhibits, read by their column labels and never by position, with every amount kept as published.

Every figure states its basis

Three ways to sum a budget

A workbook's printed total is not always the request. GovConDash sums on a stated basis, prints the basis beside every figure, and checks each exhibit's rows against the workbook's own total with no tolerance.
Add rows onlyThe default

Rows marked Add, excluding the Non-Add memo lines the workbook displays alongside them. Available on the exhibits that publish the Add and Non-Add qualifier.

As published

Every displayed row, matching the workbook's own Total of Displayed Rows banner. This includes Non-Add memo lines, so it is larger than the request itself.

Total Obligational Authority

Rows marked Include In TOA equal to Y. Available on the exhibits that publish the Total Obligational Authority qualifier.

Federal Budget tab

Four views of the request

From the topline down to one program line and the workbook row it came from.

Overview

The request topline on a stated basis, the seven exhibits it is made of, the budget flow, and the largest organizations and appropriation accounts.

Browse

Every line item, filtered by exhibit, organization, appropriation account and year, with its amounts by year and the workbook row it was read from.

NAICS

Your NAICS codes screened against the published line titles in the exhibits that work is budgeted in, each hit showing the term that matched.

Documents

The Comptroller's own budget documents for the cycle, linked back to comptroller.war.gov, so every figure can be checked against its source.

NAICS

Find your work in the budget

Type a NAICS code and see the program lines your kind of work is budgeted in. Below, NAICS 541512, Computer systems design services, screened across the operation and maintenance and research and development exhibits.

Line items, amounts and the source row are real, as GovConDash read the FY 2027 exhibits on November 3, 2026.

A curated crosswalk

Each NAICS family maps to the exhibits its work is budgeted in and to terms that appear in the titles the Department of War published, tested against the real workbooks before they were kept.

The evidence on every row

Each hit names the term that matched and the field it matched in, so you check the evidence rather than trust a label. A code with no crosswalk entry says it is not mapped.

Down to the workbook row

Open a line item to its account, budget activity, program element and amounts by year, with the Comptroller workbook, sheet and row it came from.

NDAA

Read the bill before it binds you

Congress.gov
The National Defense Authorization Act sets the acquisition rules you will work under next year. The NDAA tab follows each version through Congress and reads its text section by section, from congress.gov and govinfo.gov.

Bill status, sections and passages are real, as GovConDash held H.R. 8800 on November 3, 2026.

Tracker

Each NDAA version and its companion, stage by stage in congress.gov's own vocabulary, with the action that put the bill at each stage and the roll call votes.

Bill Text

The bill read by division, title and section from govinfo.gov's published text, searchable in full, with funding table rows read line by line.

NAICS Analysis

The sections a keyword screen ties to your NAICS codes, and a brief on what they mean for you. Every citation in the brief is checked against the bill text before it is shown.

Audit & Acquisition

The sections that bear on contract audit and oversight, and the authorities they cite, matched on agency names as Congress spells them out, since the bill never uses the acronyms.

Grounded

Every figure from its source

Reconciled exactly

Each exhibit's rows are summed and compared with the workbook's own printed total. Any difference stops the cycle from loading, so a figure on the page always ties to its workbook.

No model writes a number

The budget views, the flow and the NAICS screen are deterministic reads over the published rows. The one model surface is the NDAA brief, and its citations are verified against the bill text.

Request, authorization, appropriation

The budget request is what the Department asked for and the NDAA is what Congress authorizes. Every figure names the document it came from, so the two are never confused.

Around the budget

From the budget to the bid

Opportunities

SAM.gov notices and DoW SBIR/STTR topics, matched to your NAICS codes and set-asides.

Agencies

The buyers behind the budget: departments, commands and offices, and what each one buys.

Other Transactions

FAQ

The budget and the NDAA,
answered.

Where the figures come from, why a topline differs from a printed total, and how the budget and the bill are matched to your NAICS codes.

From the Department of War Comptroller at comptroller.war.gov: the M-1, O-1, P-1, P-1R, R-1, RF-1 and C-1 exhibit workbooks for the budget request, read row by row. Amounts stay in thousands of dollars as the exhibits publish them, every line item keeps the workbook, sheet and row it came from, and each exhibit's rows are summed against the workbook's own total before the cycle is accepted.

Some exhibits display Non-Add memo rows alongside the rows that make up the request, and the workbook's printed total counts both. GovConDash sums on a stated basis, by default the Add rows only, and labels every figure with the basis it used, so a figure never mixes the request with memo lines. You can switch to the published total or to Total Obligational Authority where an exhibit publishes it.

Budget exhibits carry no NAICS codes. GovConDash keeps a curated crosswalk from each NAICS family to the exhibits its work is normally budgeted in and to terms that appear in the titles the Department of War published, then screens those titles on whole words. Every hit shows the term and the field it matched. It is a screen to start your research, not a statement that a line item is open to you, and a code with no crosswalk entry says so rather than returning an empty list.

Each version of the year's National Defense Authorization Act and its companion in the other chamber, with its stage, latest action, committee reports and roll call votes from congress.gov, and the full bill text from govinfo.gov, read by division, title and section. The text can be searched, screened against your NAICS codes, and read for the sections that name the audit and contract oversight agencies.

No. The NDAA authorizes programs and sets policy, including acquisition rules. Appropriations acts provide the money, and the budget request is what the Department of War asked for. GovConDash shows the request beside the authorization bill so you can read what was asked for next to what Congress is authorizing, and names which document every figure came from.
