What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 3026 of PE 0605013N. 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.
Funding supports ERP+ initiatives across Data Management, Business Area Software Enhancements, Organizational Change Management (OCM), and System Integration and Software Upgrades. These efforts focus on maintaining an audit-ready state by standardizing processes and data, reducing manual workarounds, automating system controls, and streamlining financial reporting. OCM ensures smooth upgrades for Navy Commands by managing change through planning, governance, testing, and training, enabling complex mission support while retiring legacy systems. Additionally, funding covers technical support for data conversion and system integration activities essential to successful deployment, testing, cutover, and go-live phases.
FY26 to FY27 decrease is a result of completion of the initial cost investment into the Prototyping phase of the ERP+ platform and moving to the Development & Testing phase beginning in FY27.
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.
The Navy's current ERP system will reach its technical end of life by 2030. This technical upgrade to SAP S/4HANA directed by the Acquisition Decision Memorandum titled "Naval Enterprise Business Solution Acquisition Decision Memorandum" dated April 11, 2023, is to re-engineer business processes across the DON. This approach incorporates SAP S/4HANA's software standards and leading practices via a fit-to-standard methodology. The DON is undertaking a multi-year transformation initiative, known as ERP+, to modernize financial management, logistics, supply chain, and other core business functions within Navy ERP. Beyond the technical upgrade, ERP+ encompasses a holistic business process transformation and change management campaign across the Navy. The initiative is critical for improving decision-making, aligning with Department of War mandates for auditability and transparency, and enabling the DON to adapt to evolving mission requirements with agility and precision.
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 | 32.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 26.0 |
This activity is 100% of project 3026's FY2027 request and 17% of PE 0605013N'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.
