What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 005 of PE 0303430V. This is the budget justification's own description of work that has not happened yet — the one thing no other level of the budget carries.
NBIS will complete the modernization and migration of the nine BIES applications into the cloud environment. NBIS will continue to modernize and implement Trusted Workforce 2.0 capabilities within personnel vetting mission applications to meet stakeholder requirements and fill user capability gaps
The increase in FY2027 is a result of increased Modernization activities. DCSA will complete data extraction and transformation while ensuring 100% data integrity. The subject portal will provide a secure environment for investigation subjects to submit information. The application programming interface will enable automated data exchange between NBIS and external data providers such as law enforcement and financial records, a cornerstone capability for the Trusted Workforce 2.0 continuous vetting model.
FY2026: the year under way
Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.
NBIS continues the modernization and migration of the nine BIES applications into the cloud environment. NBIS continues to incorporate the Zero Trust architecture to enhance the security of the cloud applications while continuing to implement Trusted Workforce 2.0 capabilities to respond to the NBIS customer needs. The NBIS is delivering cloud migration for mission IT systems supporting the adjudications and continuous vetting workflows, secure web fingerprint transmission and personnel vetting management capabilities. The NBIS is also developing an individual engagement portal that will allow individuals to log in and track their personnel vetting status in real-time.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 0.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 22.7 |
| FY2027 | Request | 50.9 |
This activity is 100% of project 005's FY2027 request and 100% of PE 0303430V's. In the request year the activities under a project sum to it exactly; in the current year they under-cover it in about 9% of cases, so an activity's delta can legitimately exceed its parent's and the two must not be compared row to row.

Every R-2A line of this project, largest FY2027 request first. Linked where the activity has enough of its own narrative to carry a page; the rest are shown in full on the program-element page.
