Tim Brennan, president of the Center for Procurement Advocacy, joins Off the Shelf for a spotlight on the year end legislative priorities for Congress. 

Brennan identifies the principal legislative priorities before year end, including FY27 appropriations and the NDAA, and shares how he sees the calendar playing out and how the election results may impact approaches to moving forward on appropriations and the NDAA. 

He notes the multiple funding and authorization deadlines that are converging in December and how Congress may resolve them. 

Brennan also discusses potential NDAA acquisition priorities, highlighting the continuing focus on commercial acquisition, intellectual and technical data requirements, and supply-chain resiliency.
