The FY2027 President's Budget requests $238.3M for Prices and Cost of Living, within Commerce's Salaries and Expenses account. That is down 3.9% on the FY2026 figure of $248.0M, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2026–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | enacted | $248.0M |
| FY2027 | request | $238.3M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Commerce discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Commerce's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Produces the Consumer Price Index, Producer Price Index, and international price indexes used to measure inflation and index federal benefits and contracts.
Extracted from Bureau of Labor Statistics, p. 9. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
Contracts funded by this line
2 linked contracts. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.
| Contract | Vendor | Confidence | Obligated |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1605TA21F00061 last action FY2026 | SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC | Medium confidence | $13.6M |
| 1605TA21F00064 last action FY2026 | ADVANCED MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY, INC. | Medium confidence | $12.0M |

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
