The FY2027 President's Budget requests $148.0M for Waterways Commerce Cutter, within Homeland Security's Procurement, Construction, and Improvements account. That is up 37% on the FY2026 figure of $108.0M, which is a continuing-resolution annualized figure, not an enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $108.0M |
| FY2026 | CR annualized | $108.0M |
| FY2027 | request | $148.0M |
The prior-year column is a CR annualized figure — the rate a continuing resolution funds at, not an enacted appropriation. The two are different numbers and are not interchangeable. Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Homeland Security 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 Homeland Security's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Recapitalizes the capabilities of the current fleet of inland tenders and barges commissioned between 1944 and 1991. The current fleet is comprised River Buoy Tenders (WLR) that average over 57 years in age. The FY 2027 Budget funds the construction of the next three WCCs and the next three sets of LLTM. FY 2027 funding also supports the program management office, production, and production-related activities to recapitalize this vital capability. The Working Families Tax Cut Act provided $162M for procurement of WCCs, equipment related to such cutters, and program management for such cutters. ' Briefed the DHS Acquisition Review Board and achieved ADE-2C approval. ' Procured LLTM for WCCs #3 - #5. ' Began construction of WCCs #1 and #2. ' Procure LLTM for WCCs #6 - #8. ' Begin construction of WCCs #3 - #5. ' Begin construction of WCCs #6 - #8.

Contracts funded by this line
6 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.

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.
