Does DHS publish an acquisition forecast?

Yes. DHS posts planned procurements in APFS. PrimeRFP SCOUT’s October 16, 2026 pull of source=dhs_apfs returned 50 rows with NAICS codes and award quarters.

Why did agency=DHS return zero forecasts?

The agency-name filter misses this book. Always pull source=dhs_apfs. The same gotcha applies to GSA (use source=gsa_d2d_aas) and DOJ (use source=doj_fco).

Which DHS forecast programs are on this page?

Application Platform Enablement and eXcellence (APEX) (541512, Q3 2028); Card Upgrade and Redesign of Equipment (CURE) (323111, Q3 2028); USCG HC-130J Missionization Continuation Contract (336413, Q3 2028); Vessel Construction Management (VCM) Services for Floating Drydock (336611, Q1 2028); CONSOLIDATED HIRING OPERATIONS AND PERSONNEL SERVICES III (CHOPS III) (541612, Q1 2028); Bottled Liquids Scanner (BLS) Procurement (334511, Q4 2027); Explosives Trace Detection (ETD) Procurement of New Systems (334511, Q4 2027); Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) System (541512, Q4 2027); ORBIT: Outcome-Based Rapid Business Integration and Technology (541519, Q4 2027); Cyber Technology Services (CTS) (541519, Q4 2027); Supply Chain Risk Assessment Support Services (541690, Q4 2027); Operational Test and Evaluation Support Services (OTSS) - Test and Evaluation Division (TED) (541330, Q4 2027)

Is an APFS row a SAM.gov opportunity?

No. APFS is planning. Bid from a posted SAM.gov notice, or capture from an expiring incumbent award.

DHS acquisition forecast

As of October 16, 2026, PrimeRFP SCOUT’s DHS APFS feed (dhs_apfs) returned 50 planning rows with NAICS codes and estimated award quarters. agency=DHS returns 0 — this book only appears when you pull source=dhs_apfs. This page publishes 12 named programs, including Application Platform Enablement and eXcellence (APEX) (541512); Card Upgrade and Redesign of Equipment (CURE) (323111); USCG HC-130J Missionization Continuation Contract (336413); Vessel Construction Management (VCM) Services for Floating Drydock (336611); CONSOLIDATED HIRING OPERATIONS AND PERSONNEL SERVICES III (CHOPS III) (541612); Bottled Liquids Scanner (BLS) Procurement (334511); Explosives Trace Detection (ETD) Procurement of New Systems (334511); Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) System (541512). Record 74744 is Application Platform Enablement and eXcellence (APEX), not the earlier PAGES title. The long tail is USCG facility M&R and cutter availabilities. Forecasts are planning data, not live SAM.gov notices, and estimated award dollars are usually null.

Capture read

APEX, CAD, ORBIT, and CTS are the IT/cyber names in this APFS slice. BLS and ETD are sensor buys (334511) — pair them with the expiring 334511 page if an incumbent already sits on a clock. VCM is ship-repair (336611). Do not treat every USCG drydock or license renewal in the 50-row pull as a capture priority. Dollars were null; cite the award quarter, not an invented ceiling.

Data & Methodology

Federal contract and award data sourced from government procurement systems — including FPDS-NG, SAM.gov, and related federal data repositories. PrimeRFP SCOUT ingests, normalizes, and continuously updates records as agencies publish them. Reporting timelines vary by agency; some components (particularly DoD) carry a 60–90 day lag relative to award execution.

Dataset coverage — ≥ $100K floor

All intelligence on this page and within SCOUT is filtered to federal contract awards whose current total award value is $100K or more. PrimeRFP applies this floor at the award level (on current_total_value_award), not per-transaction, so large awards split across many mid-size obligation lines are retained in full. PrimeRFP's own empirical sampling against the raw USASpending dataset shows this threshold captures 98%+ of total federal contract dollars while excluding a long tail of micro-purchases, small modifications, and administrative actions — the trade-off that makes market intelligence tractable without distorting the dollar picture. Coverage: 560,000+ active contract awards and 2.5M+ unique awardees, including small-business set-asides, task orders, and mid-market opportunities.

Award identification: Each record is keyed by federal Award ID (PIID). Task orders recorded as independent awards appear as separate rows. IDIQs and their task orders are tracked distinctly.

Why SCOUT dollar figures differ from published annual totals: Per-agency dollar figures on SCOUT intelligence pages aggregate all USASpending transaction records — including base contract awards, task orders, delivery orders, and modifications to existing contracts. Annual federal contract obligation figures cited in industry reports (e.g., FY2025: $833.8B per Bloomberg Government) count only new prime award actions in the fiscal year, excluding mods. An IDIQ vehicle (like OASIS+) carries no obligation at award — only task orders issued against it are counted. SCOUT's transaction-level aggregates are larger because they capture the full activity picture across a contract's lifecycle, making them useful for competitive analysis and pipeline sizing rather than year-over-year spending comparison.
