WEEKLY GOVCON INTELLIGENCE

Current federal signals for the Capital Region

Source-checked notices, forecasts, amendments and agency programs—classified so a planning signal is never mistaken for a bid, award or obligated revenue.

Use this desk to decide whether to prepare, pursue, partner, monitor or pass. Read the complete official record and every amendment before acting. Vehicle access does not guarantee work, a ceiling is not an obligation, and geographic proximity is not buyer access.

DHS moved forecast access to ERA APFS effective Nov. 5. A legacy migration page is not an adequate detail record, so unverified forecasts remain outside active results.

DHS forecast F2024067049 migration hold

The legacy DHS forecast data still indexes the CISA requirement, but its public link now resolves only to the ERA APFS migration notice rather than the exact detail record.

Next check: Keep this forecast out of active results until the exact ERA APFS detail URL and current fields are verified.
