Does DHS publish an acquisition forecast?

Yes. DHS posts planned procurements in APFS. PrimeRFP SCOUT’s August 22, 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?

PAGES (541512, Q3 2028), CURE (323111, Q3 2028), VCM floating drydock (336611, Q1 2028), BLS and ETD (334511, Q4 2027), CAD (541512), CTS (541519), supply-chain risk support (541690), OTSS (541330), IONSCAN (334511), GMDSS (541330), and Enterprise Contact Center Experience 2 (561422, Q3 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.

As of August 22, 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 — PAGES and CAD (541512), CURE (323111), floating-drydock VCM (336611), BLS / ETD / IONSCAN (334511), Cyber Technology Services (541519), supply-chain risk support (541690), OTSS and GMDSS (541330), and Enterprise Contact Center Experience 2 (561422). 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

PAGES, CAD, and CTS are the IT/cyber names in this APFS slice. BLS, ETD, and IONSCAN are sensor buys (334511) — pair them with the expiring 334511 page if an incumbent already sits on a clock. VCM / cutter rows are ship-repair (336611). Do not treat every USCG drydock 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.
