The FY2027 President's Budget requests $11.5M for Previously Unavailable BA, within Interior's Permanent Operating Funds account. That is down 32% on the FY2026 figure of $16.9M, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2026–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | enacted | $16.9M |
| FY2027 | request | $11.5M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Interior 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 Interior's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
* Supplemental funding reflects amounts made available in the fiscal year, not estimated allocations or obligations. Bureau of Land Management 2027 Budget Justification The following activities include payments made to States and counties from the sale, lease, or use of other public lands or resources under the provisions of permanent legislation and do not require annual Payments to States from Proceeds of Sales - The BLM collects funds from the sale of public lands and materials in the limits of public domain lands pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 1305. States are paid 5 percent of the net proceeds of these sales. The BLM makes these payments annually and payments are used by States either for educational purposes or for the construction and improvement of public roads.
Extracted from Bureau of Land Management, p. 205. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| HR001115C0037 last action FY2018 | SRI INTERNATIONAL | Medium confidence | $11.4M |

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.

Answers come from the figures on this page and nothing else. These dollars are parsed from Interior's Congressional Justification and are approximate — confirm anything that matters against the cited page.
