Market Overview
New DHS Budget to Favor Services over Product Procurement
After a dip in the budget in 2008 due to the government’s inability to have an approved budget by the start of the fiscal year (FY), the 2009 DHS budget has returned to the 2007 levels. The FY 2010 budget for DHS continues to slope upwards and is expected to continue growing between 5 percent and 7 percent. Although the revenue stream from DHS spending had been drying up since 2006 and hit a nadir in 2009, it is likely to pick up as the new administration will have its strategy outlined and be more prepared to direct spending initiatives. Significantly, the DHS’ future spending will begin to disproportionately favor services over traditional security products. 'The DHS has cut funding and reduced spending for many of the major procurement efforts, which will impact product procurement,' says the analyst of this research. 'At the same time, spending on services accounted for over half of the total expenditure in 2008, with over $8,500.0 million going to various services.'
All DHS agencies have procured many of the necessary ‘boxes’ for current needs. However, because of the presence of so many disparate systems and sensors, there is still a large demand for integration and engineering services as well as complete system solutions. Despite this need and the high levels of funding, market participants must not be misled into expecting huge investments from the DHS. This is because it spends only about 25 percent of its budget on products and services through contracts to private industry, as most of the funds are spent on its 248,000-strong personnel. Moreover, the stringent regulatory environment in the defense industry makes milking that 25 percent even more challenging. Numerous committees and subcommittees in the Congress have oversight authority over the DHS, throwing up dramatic operational challenges and placing restraints on funding and spending priorities. To win contracts in the DHS, it is important to be able to lobby influence among the 86 overseeing bodies, the eight agencies, and supporting directorates.
Companies in the defense market need to evaluate their business and market strategies carefully before participating in the DHS market. They must develop services that specifically cater to end-user needs, the biggest one being a common operating picture (COP) that integrates all command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) assets for a given domain (airports, borders, seaports, maritime). 'Data, sensor, and intelligence fusion are at the core of this need,' notes the analyst. 'The solution to these issues is not in proprietary technologies or large overarching programs but the integration services leveraging commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies and proven methodologies.' Companies that can provide the required products and services will be well positioned to make the most of the opportunities presented by the perceived threat of terrorism in the United States.
