Temporary Funding Request

Definition

A Temporary Funding Request seeks short-term funding authority pending permanent appropriation or allocation. TFRs address immediate funding needs while longer-term funding is processed.

TFR awareness helps contractors understand funding uncertainties. Understanding TFR processes supports planning for funding transitions. TFR situations may affect contract start dates and work scheduling.
