## What project 665826 buys

This Project funds the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) civilian workforce in the Fighters and Advanced Aircraft, Bombers, and Armament Directorates. AFLCMC equips U.S. and allied forces with operational weapon systems in support of military and national security operations. The acquisition and product support workforce provides cutting edge weapon systems, sustainment capabilities, and is charged with providing management, tools, and technical and business capabilities needed to oversee acquisition programs throughout their life cycle. The direct funded acquisition workforce funded in this project will support all phases of acquisition programs to include material solution analysis, technology development, engineering and manufacturing development, production and deployment, and operations and support. This funding does not include costs for base operating support civilian personnel. This project supports both civilian pay and non-pay support requirements.

### Acquisition Workforce - Civilian Pay

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The $15.031 million decrease from FY26 to FY27 is a combination of the following: Increased funding for updated average work year costs and a reduction for workforce optimization. The funding supports 1,653 full-time equivalents.

### Acquisition Workforce - Non-Civilian Pay

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The $0.135 million increase from FY26 to FY27 is due to inflation.
