Federal contractors are facing a pivotal moment as the FY2025 budget cycle brings major shifts in funding priorities. If you’re trying to make sense of what the new budget means for your business development (BD) efforts in 2025 and beyond, our recent webinar has the insights you need.
The webinar—Navigating Federal Budget Uncertainty: BD Strategies for 2025—is now available to watch on demand. You can also download the slide deck for a detailed breakdown of funding trends, executive orders, and BD strategies tailored to today’s evolving federal landscape.
Key Highlights from the Webinar
1. What H.R. 1968 Means for Federal Spending in 2025
The Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (H.R. 1968), extends funding through September 30 and includes over $13 billion in domestic spending cuts while authorizing $6 billion in new defense funding. We unpacked what this means for agencies like DOJ, HHS, NASA, DOE, and more.
2. Targeted Cuts and Increases Across Federal Agencies
Some of the most notable funding reductions hit education, public health, and climate initiatives. On the flip side, programs such as the COPS Hiring Program and Legal Services Corporation saw significant boosts. Understanding these shifts is key to updating your pipeline and positioning for new opportunities.
3. Executive Orders and FY2026 Outlook
We analyzed the early signals coming out of the Trump administration’s FY2026 planning—particularly around DEI program eliminations, restructuring public health agencies, aggressive cuts to foreign aid, and a renewed focus on defense modernization and border security. These trends are likely to impact agency priorities well into next year.
4. Actionable Business Development Strategies
The BD landscape is shifting. We shared strategies to adapt to changing funding flows, identify priority programs, and position your company to win in a tighter, more strategic spending environment.
