Definition

An Unfunded Requirement is a validated need that lacks budget allocation in the current fiscal year. UFRs represent requirements identified but not funded, potentially addressed through supplemental appropriations or reprogramming.

UFR awareness helps contractors understand future contracting opportunities. Understanding UFR prioritization processes supports opportunity forecasting. UFR tracking identifies potential requirements awaiting funding.
