Today, success requires strategies that anticipate emerging trends, identify opportunities, and manage risk.
In January 2024, Federal Budget IQ (FBIQ) adjusted our 18-month forecast to reflect enactment of major legislation by the 117th Congress that increased FY22-FY31 spending by almost $2 trillion outside the appropriations process.
- The 10-year $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), P.L. 117-58.
- The Honoring our PACT Act, P.L. 117-168, included over $450 billion in expanded VA benefit and operating costs and billions in non-defense discretionary baseline adjustments; and
- The Inflation Reduction Act, P.L. 117-169 included over $250 billion in funding for clean, green energy programs (and set discretionary caps for FY24-25).
The IIJA and the Inflation Reduction Act increased federal spending (both mandatory and discretionary) primarily through grants. This funding spike for activities traditionally financed through appropriations alters agency and Congressional spending priorities. The bottom line—despite constraints on regular FY24-FY25 appropriations, FBIQ expects FY24 federal contract spending to increase slightly.

Initial Demonstration Project
A demonstration project allows you to control costs and evaluate a deliverable to determine whether Federal Budget IQ’s customized market intelligence work is the right fit for you. Most clients start with a 30-45 day public sector market assessment demonstration project. Options range from a broad sector-focused market outlook for defense, federal civilian agencies, or state and local government to a deep-dive analysis on a strategic market priority.

Strategic Partnership
Annual partnerships can evolve into a strategic partnership after an initial 6-12 month engagement. The initial period allows you to evaluate our team and develop a customized program integrating FBIQ’s work into your business processes, helping you and your executive team set and manage public sector market expectations, identify opportunities, adapt to changing market conditions, manage risk, and ultimately, focus business development and capture resources to boost sales. Strategic partners rely on real-time FBIQ updates and analysis on government actions and other events with addressable public sector market implications. Regular FBIQ deep-dive briefings and account-planning workshops help strategic partners validate, extend, and expand their public sector business development pipelines and improve alignment to emerging public sector growth opportunities.
