description

The TechAmerica Foundation’s Vision Federal Market Forecast projects federal budgets in line with the Bipartisan Budget Act until policy choices crystalize after 2015. TechAmerica Foundation’s 50th annual Vision Federal Market Forecast Conference runs two days starting tomorrow at the Fairview Park Marriott in Falls Church, Va. “Despite budget pressures, the federal government remains a large potential market for companies that are fully invested in it,” said Elizabeth Hyman, executive vice president, TechAmerica. “The Vision Forecast helps IT companies gain a competitive edge in the federal marketplace by gleaning valuable insight into the future of government spending.” The overall forecast sees long-term economic challenges limiting federal IT budget growth, but opportunities still exist. The civil IT budget is flat in near term, but should grow with discretionary spending. The defense IT budget faces near-term pressure with inflation-level increases over five years. The on-book unclassified IT budget will be $73.7 billion for fiscal year 2015. Without reform measures, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other mandatory expenses plus interest payments are set to rise to 79 percent of federal outlays by fiscal year 2024, leaving only a modest amount of room for discretionary expenditures.

  • 11. 2014 TechAmerica Forecast Drivers FY15 is turning out according to the Bi-partisan Budget Act playbook Expect continued reliance on CRs, no major $ shifts Incremental deals only, with new policy and resource directions to come later OMBs May guidance for FY16 sets a lower topline for future negotiations with Congress (2% below FY15 projection) Expect discretionary to drop at least $125-150B more over FY16-19 Defense growth path for FY16-17 will not survive Post-war drawdown ends with the full U.S.-Afghan withdrawal Efforts to raise only defense above BCA caps will not succeed Convergence of Presidential Budget and Budget Control Act adding near-term predictability But industry needs to seriously account for out-year disruptors Expect another round of cuts to discretionary, starting in FY16 11
  • 12. Alternative Discretionary Forecasts: FY15-25 Scenario #1: Sequestration Red Line Enforcement implemented in winter of 2015-16, going to 2025 Scenario #2: TechAmerica Forecast FY16-17 incremental deals hold discretionary to inflation-only $235B below FY16-25 PB projection, plus $165B OCO savings Scenario #3: Economic Downturn/Recession Assumes major economic downturn beginning 2016-17 More than $800B below FY16-25 PB projection Scenario #4: National Security Contingency Assumes external event drives major defense growth after 2017 $130B above FY16-25 PB projection (increases begin in FY18) TechAmerica forecast assumes modest movements between the PB and BCA lines until policy choices crystalize after 2016.
