Sample Key Takeaways:


Great Power Competition
The USAF and USSF have undergone a transformative few years. The impact to acquistion processes and deliverables will put an emphasis on enterprise solutions, intentional integration, agile and adaptable processes and systems, and resilient, survivable, and sustainable capabilities.


Sustained Contracting Growth
Historically high Air Force budgets should continue to drive strong contract spending in FY 2025. The FY 2024 budget delay may shift pent-up demand into the next fiscal year.


IT as a Force Enabler
Top-line IT spending is growing, even if the enterprise IT portion is relatively flat. Investments in mission-oriented IT capabilities, including cyber, continue to grow.

The FY 2025 budget continues the robust growth that began in FY 2022 to meet strategic priorities and global readiness challenges. However, anticipate continued debate and oversight in Congress, which will create uncertainties and delays, pushing some timelines to the left.
