## Summary

This activity requests $18.0M in FY2027, 8.8% of project MD65, down 5.0% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2027.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** $0.951 million decrease from FY 2026 to FY 2027 in PDI funding reflects the reduction of MDA Civilian labor and program management to execute the President's Executive Order (EO) 14210 to implement the Workforce Optimization and EO 14222 to synergize efforts and gain efficiencies. The reduction of funding for contract services is undertaken in direct support of the President's executive order, which prioritizes cost efficiency, transparency, and the consolidation of services. This measure represents a deliberate workforce optimization strategy designed to streamline resources while safeguarding against adverse impacts to modernization initiatives and overall mission effectiveness.

## Funding

| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 19.5 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 18.9 |
| FY2027 | Request | 18.0 |
