## What project 665831 buys

This Project funds the AFLCMC civilian workforce in cross-cutting and mission support organizations such as Plans & Programs, Engineering, Contracting, Financial Management, Logistics, Program Management, Intelligence, Information Protection, Safety, Personnel, Small Business, Inspector General, and Staff Judge Advocate. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (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 program element 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. These program elements support both civilian pay and non-pay support requirements.

### Acquisition Workforce - Civilian Pay

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The $70.703 million increase from FY26 to FY27 is a combination of the following: Increased funding for updated average work year costs and an increase for workforce optimization. The funding supports 1,820 full-time equivalents.

### Acquisition Workforce - Non-Civilian Pay

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The $1.313 million increase from FY26 to FY27 is due to inflation.

## What is NOT on this page

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
